Set up a proportion.

8.368

Practice makes perfect
The ratio of a part of a whole equal to the ratio of a percent out of 100. part/whole=percent/100 ⇔ a/b=p/100 To find 0.8 % of 1046, we substitute p= 0.8 and b= 1046 into the formula and solve for a using the Properties of Equality.
a/b=p/100
a/1046=0.8/100
â–Ľ
Solve for b
a/1046* 1046 = 0.8/100* 1046
a = 0.8/100* 1046
a = 0.8 * 1046/100
a = 836.8/100
a = 8.368
We found that 8.368 is 0.8 % of 1046.
