A fraction like 242/258, or about 93.8%, could describe a school attendance rate, a product quality score, or the percentage of survey responses that support an idea. For example, if 242 out of 258 students returned permission forms, nearly the whole group took part.

To picture 93.8% quickly, imagine a group of 100 items with about 94 shaded or completed. It is just a little less than 95%, so you can think of it as roughly 19 out of every 20.

A common mistake is to treat 93.8% as exactly 94% or as a perfect score. The difference is small, but it still represents 16 items out of the 258 that were not included in the successful or completed portion.
