720/718 = ≈100.28%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A fraction like 720/718 can show up when a measurement is just slightly higher than a comparison point, such as sales being a little above last month’s total or a machine producing slightly more than expected. It represents about 100.28%, so the amount is nearly the same as the original but just a bit greater.
To picture it quickly, think of one whole pizza plus a very thin extra slice. Since the numerator is only 2 more than the denominator, the value is just barely over 100%, not dramatically larger.
A common mistake is to treat 100.28% as 0.28% or to assume it means the amount is below the original. The number is 100% plus an extra 0.28%, so it describes a small increase.
