Answer 1

The answer to your problem is, 84% or 0.84

Explanation:

Based on the given conditions, formulate:

( 50 - 8 ) ÷ 50

Next, Calculate the sum or difference ( either term works ):

`(42)/(50)`

Cross out all the common factors,
`(21)/(25)`

`(21)/(25)` = 84% or 0.84

Thus the answer to your problem is, 84% or 0.84
