Easiest way for someone who isn't very math oriented to think about it is to equate percent to cent.

Then put a $ in front of the number. This essentially turns a math problem that is potentially scary into something the person is usually pretty familiar with.

8.33 in percent?
8.33 --> $8.33
$8.33 = 833 cents
cents = percent
833 percent, or 833%

therefore 8.33 = 833%
