A value like 70/73, or about 95.89%, could describe a school with 70 students attending out of 73, or a shipment with 70 of 73 items arriving undamaged. It shows that nearly the entire group or amount is included, with only a small part missing.

To picture 70/73 quickly, imagine a whole bar divided into 73 equal pieces, with 70 shaded. Since 70 is only 3 less than 73, the fraction is just a little below 100%, roughly 96 out of every 100.

A common mistake is to treat 70/73 as exactly 96% or even 100%, when it is slightly lower than both. The missing 3 parts matter when the total is large, such as 3 missing items out of 73,000 rather than just 73.
