At Allie's Swimwear, there are 8 bikini styles and 42 other types of swimsuit. What percentage of the swimsuit styles are bikinis? Write your answer using a percent sign (\%).

To find the percentage of bikini styles, first, you need to determine the total number of swimsuit styles. This can be calculated by adding the number of bikinis to the number of other swimsuits: 8 bikinis + 42 other swimsuits = 50 total swimsuit styles. Now, to find the percentage of bikinis, divide the number of bikinis by the total number of styles: (8 bikinis ÷ 50 total styles) × 100 = 16%. So, 16% of the swimsuit styles are bikinis!
