What is 1/85 as a percentage?

The fraction 1/85 is equal to 1.18% when converted to a percentage and rounded to the nearest two decimal places. This small percentage represents a tiny portion of a whole, just over one percent. It's the kind of number you might encounter in statistics or probability calculations, but it's not something you'd typically see in everyday life.

To put 1.18% into perspective, imagine a large group of 100 people. If you were to select just one person from that group, they would represent 1% of the total. Now, picture adding about one-fifth of another person to that selection - that's roughly equivalent to 1.18%. It's a very small amount, but in certain contexts, even such a small percentage can be significant.
