Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 263/726, or about 36.23%, could show up when 263 out of 726 people choose a certain option in a survey. It might also describe the share of students who participate in a club, customers who use a discount, or items in a shipment that meet a certain condition.
To picture 36.23%, imagine a group of 100 objects with about 36 of them shaded or marked. It is a little more than one-third, since one-third is about 33.33%, but it is still clearly less than one-half.
A common mistake is to round 36.23% to 36% and then treat it as exactly 36 out of every 100 in every situation. Also, 263/726 cannot be simplified just by canceling matching-looking digits; any simplification must use common factors of the entire numerator and denominator.
