When you turn the fraction 11/72 into a percent, you get 15.28%. This tells you that 11 out of 72 parts is just a little over one‑tenth of the whole.
The fraction itself is a simple way to show a part of something divided into 72 equal pieces. If you imagine a pizza cut into 72 slices, taking 11 slices would give you about 15 percent of the pizza.
Because the exact percent has many decimal places, it’s common to round it to two digits after the decimal point. That’s why we write 15.28% instead of a longer number.
Knowing this percentage can help in everyday situations, like figuring out a discount, a grade weight, or the portion of a project that’s been completed. It’s a quick way to understand a small part of a larger whole.
