We are told to:

Express the first quantity as a percentage of the second

a. 80cents of $9.60

The first quantity is 80 cents, the second quantity is $9.60

Step 1

We convert 80 cents to a dollar

100 cents = $1

80 cents = $x

$x = 80/100 = $0.8

Step 2

We express $0.8 as a percentage of $9.60

Hence, we have:

$0.8/$9.60 × 100

= 8.33%
