Answer
$\frac{875}{1000}$
Work Step by Step
In order to write a percent as a fraction, we can drop the percent sign and then divide by 100. Next, we must simplify the resulting fraction to lowest terms.
87.5%=$87.5\div100.0=\frac{87.5}{100.0}$
In this case, we must multiply the numerator and denominator by 10 to ensure that both are whole numbers.
$\frac{87.5}{100.0}=\frac{87.5\times10}{100.0\times10}=\frac{875}{1000}$
