When you think of 28 out of 87 pieces, picture a pizza cut into 87 slices and you have 28 of them. That portion is a little more than one‑third of the whole pizza, which matches the 32.18% value.
In everyday situations, using the percentage makes it easier to compare sizes. Whether you’re looking at test scores, survey results, or budget allocations, saying “about 32 %” is clearer than writing “28 out of 87.”
