Answer:

3%

Explanation:


(240)/(8000) =
(?)/(100)

The matching numerator in the second fraction would be the percentage, since instead of 240 our of a whole of 8000, we need a percentage out of 100.

First, you see how many times the denominator of the second fraction fits in the first. 100x80=1000. So, what you did to the top you have to do the top. 240/80=3.

Therefore, 240 is 3% of $8000.
