Question

Write an equation and solve. Round to the nearest hundredth where necessary.

What is 80% of 88?


n • 0.8 = 88; 110

n = 80 • 88; 7,040

n = 0.8 • 88; 70.4

n = 80 • 0.88; 70.4

Answer 1

`\sf Hello!`


`\sf Let\: the \:required\: number\:be\: x`


`\sf Then,`


`\sf x = \sf 80` % of
`\sf 88`

⇒
`\sf x = (\sf 80)/(\sf 100) × \sf 88`

⇒
`\sf x = (\sf 4)/(\sf 5) × 88`

⇒
`\boxed{\sf x = 70.4}`


`\sf Therefore,`

`\sf 80` %
`\sf of \:88\: is\: C.\: n = 0.8 \cdot 88; \:70.4`
