A value like 71/73, or about 97.26%, can show up when almost all items in a group meet a standard. For example, it could describe a school attendance rate, the percentage of products that pass a quality check, or the amount of a phone battery that remains.

A common mistake is to treat 71/73 as exactly 97%, even though its decimal percentage is a little higher. It is also easy to forget that the missing amount is about 2.74%, not 29%, because the denominator is 73 rather than 100.
