2 out of 8 people sharing the prize is 2/8 or 25% of the people sharing the prize

If 8 people share a winning lottery ticket and divide the cash prize equally,  2 of them together would receive 25 percent of the prize.

What is percentage?

A percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100.

We need to calculate 2 people's share in the cash price won by 8 people.

It is:

[tex]\frac{2}{8}* 100 = \frac{100}{4} = 25[/tex]

The two of them receive 25% of the price together.
