In order to calculate 5% of 8 let's write it as fractional equation.

We have 8 = 100% and X = 5%. So our fraction will look like:

8
/
X
=
100%
/
5%

Now we can solve our fraction by writing it as an equation:

X = (8 × 5) ÷ 100

=

X = 40 ÷ 100

=

X = 0.4

Therefore, 5% of 8 is 0.4

Another way to solve our problem is to find the value of 1% of the number and then multiply it by the number of percent (5). To find 1% of a number 8 you need to divide it by 100:

X = (8 ÷ 100) × 5

=

X = 0.08 × 5

=

X = 0.4

So we got the same result again: 0.4
