Answer:

about 115 women

Explanation:

You need to raise the value on the left side of the ratio by a factor of 100/87. Multiply both numbers by that factor, and you get ...

(100/87)(87) : (100/87)(100)

= 100 : (10,000/87) = 100 : 114.9425...

≈ 100 : 115

There are about 115 women for each 100 men.
