2 grams

Explanation:

The percentage in weight/weight is equivalent to the solute mass divided by the solution mass and multiplied by 100. For example, if you have 25g/100g then the percentage will be 25%. In this case you just need to multiply 8*25 and divided it by 100, so the answer is 2 grams of mupirocin per 25 g of the ointment.
