Recall the process to convert a mixed decimal percent to a fraction. First remove the percent sign, convert to an improper fraction, then multiply by  1/10  and reduce the resulting fraction to lowest terms. We can rewrite 87.5 as  87 5/10  and reduce the fraction to lowest terms. 87.5  =  87 5/ 10       =  87
