94/979 = ≈9.6%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 94/979, or about 9.6%, could describe the share of students in a school who ride the bus, customers who choose a certain product, or survey respondents who give a particular answer. It is useful whenever a smaller group is being compared with a much larger total.
To picture 9.6% quickly, think of it as very close to 10%, or about 1 person out of every 10. Since it is slightly less than 10%, a group of 100 would have just under 10 people in it.
A common mistake is to read 94/979 as 94%, focusing on the numerator and ignoring the much larger denominator. The denominator represents the whole group, so the fraction is much smaller than one-half or even one-fifth.
