A value like 26.92% might show up when a little more than a quarter of a group chooses the same option in a poll. For example, it could describe 21 out of 78 students who prefer a certain school lunch.

To picture 21/78 quickly, think of about 27 out of every 100, or a bit more than one quarter. Since a quarter is 25%, this amount is just slightly above it.

One common point of confusion is thinking that 21/78 is exactly one quarter because it is close. It is actually a little larger, so rounding it to 25% can hide a small difference.
