In order to find out what percent of 50$ is, what we can is that we can create a ratio that will help us find this unknown percentage. Lets call it X the unknown value. We know that the 100% of every number, is the number itself. In our case 100% of 50$ is 50$. Based on that, we can create the ratio we need:
If 50$ is 100%
Then 4$ is X%
If we cross multiply, we will have 50 times x equal to 4 times 100.
50x = 4*100
50x = 400
Divide both sides with 50.
50x/50 = 400/50
x=8%
