If a solution is 8% solute, that means 8% of it (or 8/100ths) is made up of the stuff you added to it. We know that the whole solution is 100%. Therefore, we need to subtract 8% from 100%, which gives us 92%. We know this is correct since you can't have a less than 100% solution, since it exists wholly.

92% should be your answer.
