Just do tic-tac-toe. Large # in the top left corner small # in lower left corner, middle # in the center of the grid.
80-20=60 parts of 8%
8-20=12 parts of 80%
Total 72 Parts
480ml/72 parts = Xml/12 parts
480mlx12parts=72partsX
5760parts/ml/72parts
X=80ml of 80%
Follow the same steeps to find how many ml of 8%
