To picture it quickly, imagine a group of 100 items: about 90 would be included, successful, or correct, while about 10 would not. Since 87/97 is a little less than 9/10, estimating it as roughly 90% is usually reasonable.

A common mistake is to treat 87/97 as exactly 87%, because people sometimes focus only on the numerator. The denominator matters too: the 87 represents the selected portion, while 97 represents the whole group.
