96/480 = 20%
A value like 96/480, or 20%, can show up in everyday situations such as a store discount, a test score, or a survey result. For example, 20% off a jacket means the price is reduced by one-fifth.
To picture 20% quickly, think of 20 out of every 100 items, or one section out of five equal sections. It is also easy to estimate as about one-fifth of a group.
A common mistake is to think 20% means 20 items no matter how large the total is. The actual number changes with the whole amount, but the proportion stays the same.
