To get from a percent to a decimal, simply move the "decimal point" over two places to the left. There is no defined (drawn) decimal point in the percent, but it is understood that it is after the 8, so it's also 8.0%. As a decimal, 8% is .08, now just write it as a fraction: 8/100, which can be simplified to 2/25
