If I put this in the wrong place could you please move it to the correct category? Thanks!

My last computer was before the multi cores were invented so I don't know if this is usual or a sign of something wrong. 1, 2, & 3 are all running between 20% - 40% but 4 is running between 50% - 70%. I've been watching it off and on for almost 2 weeks now. It's consistent. Is there something wrong with my processor or should it be this way?

There's your issue. :p

All joking aside, you need to watch your processes that are running. Even at idle, there are always things running in the background. Bring up your Task Manager or, better yet, your Resource Monitor and see what's running.
 
Ubuntu Xenial. I think I found the Linux version of the task manager, but I still need to look up the names of the processes. I'll get back to it on Monday. Weekends are for family.
