A value like 31/87, or 35.63%, might describe how often a bus arrives on time or what share of students choose a certain lunch. It’s a little more than one-third of the whole.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 people: about 36 of them would be in the group. Since one-third is about 33%, this value is just a bit higher.

A common mix-up is treating 35.63% as if it means 35.63 out of every 100 objects in every situation. It describes a share, so the actual number depends on how large the whole group is.
