A value like 2.38% might describe a small share of people in a survey, such as how many students bike to school. It can also show up as a chance of a rare event or a tiny fee.

To picture it quickly, think of about 2 or 3 out of every 100. That’s a little more than 2 out of 100, so it’s a small slice of the whole.

A common point of confusion is treating 2.38% as if it were 2.38 out of 10, when it means 2.38 out of 100. Also, the fraction 2/84 is only about 2.38%, not exactly that amount.
