16% of 50 is 8, since 8/50=.16 and .16=16%

First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown percentage. 
[tex] \frac{8}{50} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{x}{100} [/tex]

Next, you would cross multiply. 
50x = 800

Now, all you would have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 50. 
x = 16%

8 is 16% of 50. 

I hope this helps!
