Write 2/625 and then multiply the result by 100%: 200%/625 can be re-written as 8% / 25 by dividing both 200 and 625 by 25.

8% / 25 can be thought of as "eight twenty-fifths of 1 percent. (ANSWER)

Using my calculator, I found that 2/625 is 0.0032. Mult. that by 100% results in 0.32. Note that 8/25 = 0.32.
