First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown percentage.

(8)/(50) =
(x)/(100)

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!

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