8 is 16% of 50.
Explanation:
Assume 50 is 100%. Let's use x as the number we are looking for. 100%=50, so there is part. x%=8. Now we have two equations: 100%=50 and x%=8.
The final equation is: 100%/x%=50/8.
100%/x%=50/8
(100/x)x=(50/8)x
100=6.25*x
100/6.25=x
16=x
It's pretty much just using basic math concepts.
