So,
I like to simplify a fraction first. This is what I do when I'm in a store trying to find the unit price.
Factor.
Cross out ones.
Multiply it out.
In my head, I remember that one-eighth is equal to 0.125.
So seven-eighths is equal to 0.125 times 7.
0.125 * 7 = 0.875
Convert to percent form.
0.875 --> 87.5%

I actually have the decimal equivalents for eighths in my head when I'm shopping. So once I get seven-eighths, I immediately know how much that is. I can also subtract 0.125 from 1.000 to get seven-eighths.
