Here's an easy way to remember how to calculate percent.
"What" = "x"
"percent" = "%"
"of" = "*"
"is" = "="
So we try it in your question.
x% * 25 = 8
Remember that "x percent" is the same as x/100. So,
x/100*25 = 8
We can cancel out your 25, because x/100*25 is the same as x*25/100, or x*1/4.
x/4 = 8
We multiply both sides by 4, canceling out our 1/4 and multiplying our 8 by 4.
x = 8*4
x = 32
therefore, 32% of 25 is 8.
Hope I helped :D
