How do you average 4 percentages?

To average 4 percentages, you first need to add up the total number of percentage values. In this case, I’ve got four numbers: 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%. So you would simply take those four numbers and add them up. That gives a total of 100%. Once you have your total, all you need to do is divide that number by 4. That gives an average of 25%, which means if we were to divide my original question, “How do you average 4 percentages?” we would get a result of 25%.

 

Average is basically just a way of taking several different quantities and bringing them into one single quantity. By doing this calculation with percentages, it takes each individual percentage value and gives you an average percentage. Whether you are adding up prices or sizes, percentages or distances, averages can be used to bring everything into one single number.

 

The easiest way of calculating averages is with a Average Percentage Calculator. If you have four numbers that need to be averaged out, just type them in on your calculator and press the “Div” button – followed by the division symbol - to get your answer. You can also do this using a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel if you prefer not to use the manual method of calculation with pencil and paper. More advanced types of average calculation may involve some more complex algebraic formulas, but for basic calculations involving smaller numbers, averaging 4 percentages is quite simple.
