116*(x/100)=87

take your calculator and punch in 87 and then the divided by sign and the 116. the answer that you get, move the decimal point two to the right, and that's the percentage.

It's definitely 75%
Think of it in terms of proportion:
If 116 = 100%
Then 87 = x%
Multiplying criss cross, you get 8700=116x
solving for x you get 75%
All percentages can be worked out this way.

What did Shribhara mean by his/her comment? TG's not gaining points asking, she's expending! And why would you predict her next question since this is her first question ever? If you don't know an answer to a math problem, don't attack the questioner. I think you posted just to get YOUR 2 points, even though you didn't have a clue as to the answer.

When you are trying to do percentages always remember:

what means x
of means times
So...
87= x times 116

To find the answer out, you first divide 116 by 100. This equals 1.16. Then you divide 87 by 1.16 to find your answer, which is 75%. HTH : )
