You can picture 43/55 as a little more than three-quarters, since three-quarters is 75%. On a group of 55 objects, imagine 43 shaded and 12 left unshaded; that makes the amount feel close to four out of every five.

A common mistake is treating 43/55 as exactly 80% just because it is close to four-fifths. It is slightly less than 80%, so rounding may be fine for a quick estimate but not for a precise report.
