A fraction like 1509/1783, or about 84.63%, could describe the share of students who passed a test, customers who chose a certain product, or residents who supported a proposal. It represents a strong majority, but it is not quite five out of every six people.

To picture it quickly, imagine a group of 100 people: about 85 would be included, while about 15 would not. You can also estimate it as a little less than 85%, which makes it easy to recognize as roughly four-fifths of the whole.

A common mistake is to treat 84.63% as if it were 84.63 people, even when the total group is not 100. The percentage describes a portion of the entire group, so the actual number of people or items depends on the total being measured.
