A fraction like 720/871, or about 82.66%, could describe a school attendance rate, the share of survey responses that agree, or the amount of a project that is finished. It shows that most of the whole is included, but not quite all of it.

To picture it quickly, imagine a group of 100 items: about 83 would fit the fraction, while about 17 would not. You can also think of it as a little more than four-fifths, since 80% is four-fifths and 82.66% is slightly higher.

A common mistake is treating 82.66% as if it means 82.66 out of 82.66, rather than 82.66 out of 100. It is also easy to round it to 83% and forget that the rounded value is an estimate, not the exact percentage.
