Naturally occurring strontium consists of four isotopes, Sr-84, Sr-86, Sr-87 and Sr-88, whose atomic masses are 83.9134, 85.9094, 86.9089 and 87.9056 amu respectively. The most abundant isotope is Sr-88 which accounts for 82.58% of naturally occurring strontium and the least abundant isotope is Sr-84 which accounts for 0.56% of naturally occurring strontium. Given that the observed atomic mass of strontium is 87.62 amu, calculate the percentages of Sr-86 and Sr- 87 in nature.
