84/600 = 14%
A fraction like 84/600 can show up in everyday life when 84 out of 600 people choose a certain option in a survey. It could also describe 84 successful shots out of 600 attempts, or 84 students out of 600 joining an event, which is 14%.
To picture 14%, imagine dividing a group into 100 equal parts and shading about 14 of them. It is a little less than one-sixth, so in a group of 600, it represents a noticeable amount but still well below one-quarter.
A common mistake is to think 14% means 14 out of every 10 people, when it actually means 14 out of every 100. Another point of confusion is assuming that 14% always means exactly 14 people; the actual number depends on the size of the whole group.
