336/400 = 84%
A value like 336/400, or 84%, can show up in everyday life as a test score, survey result, or progress report. For example, if 336 out of 400 students complete a school survey, that means most students took part.
You can picture 84% as a little more than four-fifths of a whole. On a 100-square grid, shade 84 squares, leaving only 16 squares unshaded.
A common mistake is thinking 84% means 84 out of 84 or that it is nearly the same as 100%. It actually means 84 parts out of every 100, so there is still a noticeable 16% left over.
