5/72 = ≈6.94%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 5/72, or about 6.94%, can show up when tracking a small portion of a larger group. For example, it could represent 5 defective items in a shipment of 72, 5 rainy days during a 72-day period, or 5 students in a group of 72.
To picture it quickly, imagine 72 equal squares with only 5 shaded. That is a little less than 1 out of every 14 items, and it is close to 7%, so you can think of it as roughly 7 out of 100.
A common mistake is to round 6.94% to 6% instead of recognizing that it is much closer to 7%. It is also easy to confuse 5/72 with 5/70, which is slightly larger, so the exact denominator matters.
