96/98 = ≈97.96%
Rounded to 2 decimal places.
A value like 96/98, or about 97.96%, can show up in everyday life when nearly everything is successful. For example, a school might have 96 students attend out of 98, or a package delivery service might complete 96 of 98 deliveries on time.
To picture 96/98 quickly, think of a whole group of 98 items with only 2 missing or unsuccessful. Since just 2 out of 98 are left out, the value is very close to 100%, roughly 98 out of every 100.
A common mistake is to treat 96/98 as exactly 98% or exactly 100%, even though it is slightly lower than both. It is also important not to confuse it with 96%, because the denominator shows that the total group contains 98 items, not 100.
