49/240 = ≈20.42%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 49/240, or about 20.42%, can show up when tracking survey results, attendance, discounts, or items completed in a large group. For example, if 49 out of 240 students choose a certain activity, roughly one-fifth of the students made that choice.
To picture 49/240 quickly, think of 20% as one out of every five equal parts. Since 20.42% is just a little higher than 20%, the fraction represents slightly more than one-fifth of the whole.
A common mistake is to round 20.42% to 20% and then treat it as exactly one-fifth. That small difference may not matter in a rough estimate, but it can matter when the total is large or when several percentages are being compared.
