Since a percent is out of 100, you will need to set up a proportion. For example, if I need 5% out of 8, I would set it up like:
x    =    5  To solve the proportion if you do not know, you take the number across
________ from the variable, in this case 100, and set it up like 100x (the number
8    =  100 next to the variable) then = 8x5 (the numbers across from each others) This is called Cross Products or Cross Multiples. (100x = 8x5 is the formula for this example) Multiply (in this case 8x5) and bring it under like so: 100x = 8x5
100x = 40
Next you want to divide your answer by the # next to the variable     ------------
100 divided by 100 cancels out -------- >         100    100
Then that answer is the percent out of a number. 5% of 8 is apparently .4%. Sorry it was so lengthy but I wanted to make sure you understood! Hope this helped.
