A value like 1.22% might describe how often a small issue occurs, such as a product being damaged or a survey response being selected. It’s a way to show that something happens occasionally, but not very often.

To picture it quickly, think of about one person or item out of every 82. For a rougher estimate, imagine a group of 100 and a little more than one of them.

A common mix-up is treating 1.22% as if it meant 1.22 out of 10; it actually means a little more than one out of 100. Also, the “about” matters: rounding can make the exact share slightly different.
