Hi there, to answer your question
First - divide 6.5 by 100 to find 1% of £6.50
1% = 0.065
Next - simply multiply your answer by 4, to find 4%
4% = 0.26

There are two ways in which I would teach this.
The first being that we know that 100% = £6.50, so we can start by finding 1%.
How do we go from 100% to 1%? (We divide by 100). Noting that whatever we do to one side of an equation we must do to the other. Therefore we must also divide £6.50 by 100, giving us £0.065 (or 6.5p).
Now we know that 1% = 6.5p, how would we find 4%?
How do we go from 1% to 4%? (We multiply by 4). Noting that whatever we do to one side of an equation we must do to the other. Therefore we must also multiply 6.5p by 4.
We now know that 4% = £0.26 or 26p.
The second way I would teach this is to ask students to find the multiplier. If 100% = a multiplier of 1. What will 4% be? It would be 0.04.
We take our original value of £6.50 and multiply it by 0.04 giving us the same answer as above, 26p.

Hello! Great question! 1% would be 0.065! The all you have to do is times that by 4. The answer of course is 26p! Hope that helps!

I would work out 1% by dividing £6.50 by 100 to make 6.5p and then find 4% by multiplying 6.5p by 4. 6.5 x 4 = 26p

£6.50 / 100 = £0.065 (this is 1%)
£0.065 x 4 = £0.26 - 4%
4% of £6.25 is 26 pence
