7/8

To convert a percent into a fraction, just put the value over 100
87.5/100 and then convert. To get rid of the decimal point, multiply both by 10 to get 875/1000.
Now you reduce.
The common denominator for both numbers is 125, leaving you with 7/8, but if you don't know that from previous knowledge, I start with the obvious (5).
Dividing both by 5 = 175 / 200
and again (since both are still divisible by 5)
= 35 / 40
and again (since both are still divisible by 5)
= 7 / 8

87.5%
= 875 / 1000
= (875 divided by 125) over (1000 divided by 125)
= 7/8
