27/489 = ≈5.52%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 27/489, or about 5.52%, could describe a small share of people in a survey, such as customers who chose a less popular product. It might also represent a few defective items in a large shipment or a small portion of students who joined a particular club.
To picture 5.52% quickly, think of about 5 or 6 out of every 100. That makes it a little more than one-twentieth of the whole, so it is noticeable but still a fairly small portion.
One common mistake is treating 5.52% as if it were 55.2%, which is ten times larger. It is also easy to assume that 27/489 means 27 out of 100, even though the total number of parts is 489.
