11/22 = 50%
A value of 50% shows up in everyday life when something is half off, a team wins half its games, or a bottle is half full. It’s a handy way to describe an even split.
To picture it quickly, imagine a pizza cut into two equal halves, with one half shaded. You can also think of a progress bar that’s filled exactly to the middle.
One common mix-up is thinking that 50% always means 50 items. It means half of the total, so the number of items depends on how many there are altogether.
