A value like 90/87, or about 103.45%, can show up when a result is slightly higher than the original amount. For example, a store might sell 90 items this week after selling 87 last week, or a runner might finish a course in a little more time than a comparison goal.

To picture it quickly, think of 100% as the full original amount and 103.45% as just a little more than that. The fraction is close to 1 because its top and bottom numbers are close, so you can estimate it as roughly 1 whole plus a small extra part.

A common mistake is assuming that a percentage over 100% must be a huge increase. Here, the amount is only a little above the starting value, not twice as large, because 103.45% is close to 100%.
