1/71 = ≈1.41%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A rate of 1.41% might describe how often something happens, such as a small share of customers choosing a particular option. In a group of about 71 people, it would be roughly one person.
A quick way to picture it is one person out of every 70 or so. It’s a small slice—less than two people out of 100.
One common mix-up is thinking that 1.41% means exactly 1.41 people in a group of 100. It describes a proportion, so the actual number of people has to be a whole number, and the count may only come close to that rate.
