2/8 = 25%
A value like 25% can show up in everyday life as a discount on a shirt or the amount of a phone battery that remains. It can also describe one part of a group, like two out of eight slices of pizza.
To picture it quickly, think of a square split into four equal parts, with one part shaded. That gives you a handy sense of the size without needing to work anything out.
One common mix-up is thinking that 25% means 25 out of 100 items are always involved. It describes a share of the whole, so the actual number of items depends on how many there are altogether.
