In everyday situations, you might come across this fraction or percentage when dealing with things like test scores, sales discounts, or statistics. For example, if 17 out of 70 students passed a difficult exam, you could say that 24.29% of the class succeeded. Or if a store offered a 24.29% discount on an item, it would be pretty close to taking off one-quarter of the original price.
