A value like 85/88, or 96.59%, could describe how many questions someone got right on a test or how many items in an order arrived as expected. It shows that nearly all of the total was successful, with only a small part missing.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 squares in a grid: about 97 would be filled in and just 3 left empty. That makes it easy to see that 85/88 is very close to the whole amount.
