A value like 5.49% might show up in everyday life as the share of a group that picked a certain option in a poll, or the chance of a small risk listed on a product label. It describes a small part of a larger whole.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 equal items and about 5 or 6 of them highlighted. That’s close enough for a quick estimate, even though the exact share is a little under 5 and a half out of 100.

A common mix-up is thinking 5.49% means 5.49 out of the original 91. Instead, it means 5.49 out of every 100, which makes it easier to compare with other percentages.
