A quick way to picture it is to imagine a group of 34 equal-sized dots with just one dot highlighted. Since 1/34 is close to 3%, you can estimate it as about 3 out of every 100, or a little less.

A common mistake is treating 1/34 as 1/30 or rounding it all the way up to 5%, which makes the portion seem larger than it is. It is also important to remember that 2.94% describes one part out of 34 equal parts, not 34 parts out of one.
