2 = x%*8
2/8 = x% (divide both sides by 8)
.25 = .25*100% = 25% = x% (convert decimal fraction to %)
2 is 25% of 8.
3 = y%*10
3/10 = .3 = .30*100% = 30% = y% (divide both sides by 10, convert to %)
3 is 30% of 10.
_____
100% = 1, so multiplying by 100% doesn't change anything except the "units"
.30 = .30*100% = 30% (the equal sign remains absolutely valid throughout)
2/8 = x% (divide both sides by 8)
.25 = .25*100% = 25% = x% (convert decimal fraction to %)
2 is 25% of 8.
