672/800 = 84%
A fraction like 672/800 could show up when 672 out of 800 students, survey responses, or products meet a goal. That means 84% succeeded, so it might describe a school attendance rate, a customer satisfaction result, or the amount of a battery remaining.
To picture 84%, imagine a grid of 100 squares with 84 shaded and only 16 left blank. You can also estimate it as a little more than four-fifths, since four-fifths is 80%.
A common mistake is thinking 84% means 84 out of every 10 instead of 84 out of every 100. It is also easy to confuse 84% with 0.84 or 84, even though those forms represent the same amount only when written in the right context.
