A value like 10/98, or about 10.2%, can show up when roughly 10 out of 98 people in a group choose the same option. For example, it could describe the share of students who ride the bus, customers who prefer a certain product, or survey participants who give a particular answer.

To picture 10.2% quickly, think of about 10 people out of every 100. It is close to one-tenth, but just a little higher.

A common mistake is treating 10/98 as exactly 10%, even though the denominator is slightly smaller than 100. Another point of confusion is assuming the fraction means 10 out of 100; it actually refers to 10 out of 98.
