42/301 = ≈13.95%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
The fraction 42/301 represents about 13.95%, or roughly 14 out of every 100. A value like this might describe the share of students in a school who ride the bus, the portion of survey respondents who choose one option, or the percentage of products in a store that are on sale.
To picture it quickly, imagine a group of 300 people and select about 42 of them. Since 14% is close to one-seventh, you can also think of it as a little less than one person out of every seven.
A common mistake is to treat 42/301 as if it were 42/300 and assume the difference does not matter in every situation. The estimate is very close, but the exact fraction is slightly less than 14% because the denominator is 301 rather than 300.
