1/87 = ≈1.15%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 1/87, or about 1.15%, can describe a small chance in everyday life, such as one item in a large batch being damaged. It can also show up in surveys or reports when only a few people out of many share a certain response.
To picture it quickly, imagine about one person out of every 87 people, or roughly one person in a group of 100. That makes it a little more than one in 100, but still a pretty small share.
One common point of confusion is treating 1.15% as if it were 1.15 people. Percentages describe a share of a whole, so the number of actual people or items depends on the size of the group.
