87.5%, because to find a percent of a fraction you divide the denominator into the numerator. The thing is, once you get that answer, you have to move the decimal point two places to the right. 7 divided by 8 is 0.875, and if you move the decimal point two places to the right, you get 87.5. Add a percent sign and you get 87.5%.
