A value like 15/95, or about 15.79%, might describe how many items in a store sample are damaged, or how many students in a group chose a certain option. It’s a little less than one out of every six people or items.

To picture it quickly, imagine a group of 100: about 16 would have that result. Since the fraction’s denominator is close to 100, the percentage is also close to the number of parts out of 100.

A common mistake is to treat 15/95 as exactly 15%, because the top number is 15. But the denominator is 95 rather than 100, so the share is a bit larger than 15%.
