A value like 80/85, or about 94.12%, can show up when 80 out of 85 people complete a survey, pass a test, or attend an event. It describes a result that is very close to complete but not quite 100%.

To picture it quickly, imagine a group of 85 objects with only 5 missing or different. Since 5 is a small part of 85, you can estimate the fraction as roughly 94%, or a little less than 19 out of every 20.

A common mistake is to treat 80/85 as exactly 95% because it is close to that number. It is also important to remember that the missing 5 out of 85 represent about 5.88%, so the fraction is not a perfect success rate.
