120/843 = ≈14.23%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 120/843 might show up when 120 people out of 843 surveyed choose a certain option. That group could represent customers who prefer a product, students who join an activity, or voters who support a proposal, which is about 14.23%.
You can picture 120/843 as a little more than 1 out of every 7 people. Since 10% would be about 84 people and 15% would be about 126 people, 120 is close to 15% but slightly lower.
A common mistake is treating 14.23% as if it means 14.23 people, even though percentages describe a share of the whole group. It is also easy to forget that the denominator, 843, is the total being compared against.
