To express the percentage 87.5% as a fraction in its lowest terms, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Convert the percentage to a fraction by dividing it by 100.

87.5% = 87.5/100

Step 2: Simplify the fraction to its lowest terms (also known as simplest form) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and dividing both by it.

The greatest common divisor of 87.5 and 100 is 12.5 (87.5 = 12.5 * 7 and 100 = 12.5 * 8).

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 12.5:

(87.5/100) ÷ 12.5 = (7/8)

So, 87.5% as a fraction in its lowest terms is 7/8.
