A burger at Ricky C's weighs $120$ grams, of which $30$ grams are filler. What percent of the burger is not filler?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 60\% \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ 65\% \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 70\% \qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ 75\% \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 90\%$

There are $30$ grams of filler, so there are $120-30= 90$ grams that aren't filler. $\frac{90}{120}=\frac{3}{4}=\boxed{\mathrm{(D)}\ 75\%}$ .
