87% of 10 = 87 x 10
-- --
100 1

= 87 x 1
-- --
10 1

= 87/10

= 8.7

So 87% of 10 is 8.7 so the answer would be B,LESS than 10.

Besides the answer B, A and C can also be true.

Answer A: If you TAKE 87% of 10 you can get 1C, which is 28 in base 16. (see example picture)

Answer C: If you TAKE 87% of 10 you can still be left with 10. (see example picture)

- Except, not really. You are working in other bases and with pictures.
