Put it in Desmos and look at the graph virtually so you can have a better idea
X = 8% * 85
x = 8/100 * 85
x = 0.08 * 85
Multiply 0.08 and 85.
x = 6.8
6.8 is 8%<span> of 85.</span>
Remark
Many calculators have a key that will do this in one step. Mine is one of them. So let's start with the answer and then we'll do it the long way.
9C3 = 84. You put it into your calculator as 9 2nF nCr 3 =
Solution

3*4*7 = 84 which is what you set out to show.
