27/602 = ≈4.49%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 27/602 could represent 27 people out of 602 in a survey, such as customers who chose a certain product or students who joined an activity. That group makes up about 4.49%, so it is a small but noticeable portion of the whole.
To picture 4.49% quickly, think of about 4 to 5 people in every 100. It is a little less than one-twentieth, since 5% would be exactly 5 out of 100.
A common mistake is to treat 27/602 as if it were 27/600 and assume the result is exactly 4.5%. That estimate is close, but the original fraction is slightly lower because its denominator is 602 rather than 600.
