Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 392/1098, or about 35.7%, could describe the share of students who ride the bus, customers who choose a certain product, or survey participants who agree with a statement. It represents a little more than one out of every three people or items.
To picture 35.7%, imagine a group of 10 objects with about 3 and a half of them highlighted. You can also estimate it as roughly 36%, which is close to a bit more than one-third.
