    using percentages for small samples like 61 should be illegal.

    just say "55 out of 61" or "56 out of 61"

      In this case that would work, but if you're comparing the percentages for groups with various sizes, it becomes messier. 40 out of 45 vs 20 out of 23 is a lot harder to get a good intuition for as opposed to 0.89 vs 0.87.

        the thing being compared here is companies staying with the short week and companies who have executives we should kill first

        40 out of 45 vs 20 out of 23

        bad example these are very easy to compare if you can do 2*23 in your head
