73/240 = ≈30.42%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
The fraction 73/240 can describe a portion of a group, such as 73 out of 240 students choosing a certain lunch option or 73 out of 240 products being sold. In percentage terms, that is about 30.42%, so it represents roughly three out of every ten items or people.
To picture 73/240 quickly, imagine a group divided into ten nearly equal parts and shade about three of them. Since 30% of 240 is 72, the fraction is just slightly more than 30%.
A common mistake is treating 73/240 as exactly 30% when it is a little higher. It is also easy to confuse the numerator and denominator, but 73/240 means 73 parts out of a total of 240, not the other way around.
