Question

What’s percent of 50 is 8?

Answer 1

16% of 50 is 8, since 8/50=.16 and .16=16%

Answer 2

First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown percentage. 
$\frac{8}{50}$ = $\frac{x}{100}$

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!
