7/70 = 10%
A value like 10% can show up as a discount at a store, a tip, or part of a group taking part in an activity. For example, it could describe how many students in a class chose a certain lunch option.
To picture it quickly, imagine 10 spots in a row with one spot highlighted. That’s a small but noticeable share, about one out of every ten.
One common mix-up is thinking 10% means 10 of something, no matter how large the total is. It always describes a portion of the whole, so the actual amount depends on what the whole is.
