Calculating with and margin to float into columns?

Nick, mentioned calculating the width and columns based on 4 images, but there are 5 images not 4.

He said 45% x 2 Columns = 90 2.5 x 4 images = 10, for a total of 100. How is the 5th image not counted into the calculation. Why 4?

Thanks.

I think he means the columns have 2 sides each with a margin of 2.5% on each side... 2 columns with a width of 45% = 90% so 4 sides of margin of 2,5% = 10% + 90% column width = 100%
