A couple come to mind.
One is the sales tax on things you buy. The price is a dollar, the sales tax is 7 percent. The cost is 1.07.
Another is public opinion surveys. 62 percent like politician A, 30 percent like politican B and the rest are undecided.
One more. There's a 30 percent chance of rain. and the relative humidity is 55 percent. (you owe me extra credit!)
Good luck.
