A value like 15/97, or about 15.46%, might show up when 15 out of 97 people in a survey choose the same answer. It could also describe a small share of customers using a discount, students joining a club, or items in a shipment meeting a certain condition.

A common mistake is treating 15/97 as exactly 15%, even though the denominator is slightly less than 100. Because 97 is smaller than 100, the fraction is a little larger than 15/100, which is why its percentage is slightly above 15%.
