To picture it quickly, think of a little more than 8 and a half out of every 10 items being successful or complete. It is close to 85%, so you can imagine shading most of a bar while leaving roughly one-seventh unshaded.

One common mistake is treating 86.16% as if it were 86.16 items, since a percentage describes a share rather than a count. Also, the fraction is not quite the same as 86%, because the extra decimal places show a slightly more precise value.
