A value like 83.1% might describe how many questions someone got right on a quiz or how full a phone’s battery is. It can also show up in survey results, such as the share of people who prefer one option.

To picture it quickly, think of a little more than four-fifths of a whole. On a 100-square grid, about 83 squares would be filled, leaving about 17 empty.

One common mix-up is treating 83.1% as the same as 83.1 out of 71; a percent is measured out of 100. Also, 59/71 is only about 83.1%, so the percentage is rounded rather than exact.
