2/8 = 25%

The easiest way I've found to do percents is cross multiplying:

2/8 = x/100

So to solve for x, multiply 2 times 100 (equals 200) and divide by 8 (equals 25). So 25/100 equals 25%.

Works for anything... Another example: what is the percentage of 53 out of 976?

53/976 = x/100

So 53 times 100 (equals 5300) and divide 5300 by 976 (equals 5.43) or 5.43%.
