Solve the Percentage Equation: Finding 8% of 50

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Convert the given percentage to a decimal.
• Step 2: Multiply this decimal by the whole number.
• Step 3: Simplify and confirm the result.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Convert $8\%$ to a decimal by dividing by 100:
$8\% = \frac{8}{100} = 0.08$

Step 2: Multiply the decimal $0.08$ by the whole number $50$:
$0.08 \times 50 = 4$

Step 3: The result is already simplified, so we conclude the value of $8\%$ of $50$ is $4$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $4$, which corresponds to choice $3$.
