A value like 508/518, or about 98.07%, can describe a very high success rate in everyday life. For example, it might represent 508 correct answers out of 518, 508 working products in a shipment, or nearly all customers completing a survey.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 items lined up with only about 2 missing or unsuccessful. Since 98.07% is just over 98%, it is much closer to 100% than to 95%.
