27/87 expressed as a percentage is 31.03%. This rounded figure gives a quick sense of how large the fraction is compared to a whole.
The fraction itself can be simplified to 9/29, which still represents the same part of a whole. Whether you write it as a fraction or a percent, it shows a little less than one‑third.
In everyday use, saying “about 31 percent” is often easier than dealing with the fraction. It works well for things like test scores, discounts, or any situation where a simple percentage is more helpful than a fraction.
