A value like 1.35% can show up in everyday life as a small chance, such as the share of a group that picks an uncommon option in a survey. It can also describe a tiny fee or discount on a purchase.

To picture it quickly, think of about one person out of every 74 people. In a group of 100, it’s a little more than one person.

A common mistake is to treat 1.35% as if it means 1.35 out of 100 people exactly. Since people come in whole numbers, the value makes more sense as an average across a larger group.
