24/84 as a percentage is 28.57%. This shows how a small part of a whole can be expressed in a way that’s easy to compare with other numbers.
If you simplify the fraction, 24 ÷ 12 = 2 and 84 ÷ 12 = 7, so 24/84 reduces to 2/7. The fraction 2/7 represents two equal parts out of seven, which is exactly the same amount as 28.57% of a whole.
In everyday situations, you might hear this percentage when talking about survey results, school grades, or budget allocations. Saying “about 28.57% of the class voted” is clearer for most people than saying “2 out of every 7 students voted.”
