368/920 = 40%
A value like 368/920, or 40%, can show up when 368 people out of a group of 920 choose the same option. For example, it could represent the share of students who ride the bus, customers who prefer a product, or voters who support a proposal.
You can picture 40% as about two-fifths of a whole, or slightly less than half. If a chart or group is divided into ten equal parts, 40% would fill four of those parts.
A common mistake is to confuse 40% with 40 percentage points or with 0.40%—they are not the same. It is also easy to assume that 40% means a majority, but it is still less than half.
