336/480 = 70%
A value like 336/480, or 70%, can show up in everyday life when 336 out of 480 people choose the same option in a survey. It could also describe a store selling 70% of its event tickets or a student completing 70% of an assignment.
To picture 70% quickly, imagine 10 equal sections with 7 shaded and 3 unshaded. It is more than half but less than three-quarters, so it represents a strong majority.
A common mistake is thinking 70% means 70 items instead of 70 out of every 100. The actual number depends on the total amount, so 70% of 480 is not the same number as 70% of 50.
