First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown percentage.
[tex] \frac{8}{50} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{x}{100} [/tex]
Next, you would cross multiply.
50x = 800
Now, all you would have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 50.
x = 16%
8 is 16% of 50.
I hope this helps!
