1. The problem asks: What is 8% of 200? 2. To find a percentage of a number, use the formula: $$\text{Percentage value} = \frac{\text{percentage}}{100} \times \text{total number}$$ 3. Here, the percentage is 8%, and the total number is 200. 4. Substitute the values into the formula: $$\frac{8}{100} \times 200$$ 5. Simplify the fraction and multiply: $$0.08 \times 200 = 16$$ 6. Therefore, 8% of 200 is 16.
