A value like 80/79 can show up when an amount is just slightly higher than a full target. For example, a store might sell 80 items when its goal was 79, meaning it reached 101.27% of its target.

To picture it quickly, think of one whole group of 79 with just one extra item added. Since the extra amount is only a little more than 1% of the whole, 80/79 is just barely above 100%.

A common mistake is to treat 80/79 as exactly 100% because the numbers are so close. It is not equal to one whole; it represents a small increase, while 79/80 would represent a small decrease.
