To picture it quickly, think of a little more than half of a group, but not quite three-fifths. On a 100-square grid, you could shade about 59 squares, leaving a bit less than half unshaded.

A common mistake is to treat 58.8% as if it means 58.8 whole items, even when the total is not 100. The percentage describes a portion of the full group, so the actual number represented depends on how many items there are altogether.
