you'd take 6/8 and then you'd get .75 but for percentages you move the decimal to the right 2 places which is 75%

75% of the planets have moons. I figured this by starting with the fraction 6/8, because six out of eight of the planets have moons. Then I just converted the fraction to a percentage, by dividing the top of the fraction by the bottom (6รท8) and then just multiplying by 100.
