78.26% is the percentage that corresponds to the fraction 18/23. When you see 18 parts out of 23, it’s the same as saying roughly three‑quarters of the whole.
The fraction 18/23 is a bit larger than 3/4 (which is 75%). That extra little bit pushes the value up to just over three‑quarters, landing at the rounded figure of 78.26%. It’s useful when you need a quick sense of proportion, like in a survey or a grade calculation.
In everyday language, you can think of 18/23 as “about 78 out of 100.” That makes it easy to compare with other percentages or to explain the size of something to someone who prefers whole numbers.
