1/85 = ≈1.18%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 1.18% can describe a small share of something in everyday life, such as a few items in a large batch that are damaged or returned. It can also represent a small chance of an event happening.
A quick way to picture 1/85 is to imagine one marked item among 85 items. It’s a little more than 1 out of 100, so it’s small but not quite as small as 1%.
One common mix-up is treating 1.18% as if it means 1.18, or 118%. The percent sign means the value is a small portion, not more than a whole.
