15/402 = ≈3.73%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
The fraction 15/402 represents a small share of a larger group, about 3.73%. You might see a value like this when 15 out of 402 students join a club, 15 out of 402 products have a defect, or 15 out of 402 survey responses choose a certain option.
To picture it quickly, imagine a group of about 400 items divided into 100 equal sections. A group of 15 would fill a little less than four of those sections, so the amount is close to 4% but slightly smaller.
A common mistake is to treat 15/402 as if it were 15/400 exactly and forget that the denominator is a little larger. That shortcut gives a very close estimate, but the precise percentage is slightly below 3.75%.
