0.04 is 0.5% of 8.

$8 \cdot (\frac{0.5}{100}) = X$ $8 * (0.5/100) = X$
$\frac{4}{100} = X$ $4/100 = X$

$.04 = x$ $.04 = x$

$0.04$ $0.04$

Let the number be $x$ $x$

We know that

$0.5 % = \frac{0.5}{100}$ $color(blue)(0.5%=0.5/100$

So if we multiply $0.5 %$ $0.5%$ with $8$ $8$ we get $x$ $x$

$\to \frac{0.5}{100} \cdot 8 = x$ $rarr0.5/100*8=x$

$rarrcancel0.5^1/cancel100^200*8=x$

$rarr1/cancel200^25*cancel8^1=x$

$rarrx=1/25$

$color(green)(rArrx=0.04$
