96/100 = 96%
A value like 96/100, or 96%, can show up in everyday life when a student gets 96 points out of 100 on a test. It might also describe a product’s customer satisfaction rating or the percentage of a battery that is charged.
You can picture 96% as almost the whole thing, with only a very small part missing. If a grid has 100 squares, 96 would be shaded and just 4 would remain unshaded.
A common mistake is thinking 96% means exactly the same thing as 96 points, even though the total matters. For example, 96 out of 100 is excellent, but 96 out of 200 would represent a much smaller portion.
