3/97 = ≈3.09%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 3/97, or about 3.09%, can show up when only a small share of a group chooses a particular option. For example, roughly three out of every hundred customers might sign up for a new service, respond to a survey, or experience a rare issue.
To picture 3/97 quickly, think of a little more than 3 objects in a group of 100. It is close to 3%, so imagining three shaded squares in a grid of 100 gives a useful estimate.
A common mistake is to treat 3/97 as exactly 3%, even though the denominator is slightly less than 100. Because of that, its percentage is a little higher than 3%, not lower.
