To evaluate the solution to the question, we need to express the percentage as a fraction.

77% can be expressed as


(77)/(100)=0.77

When the term "of" is used in a mathematical statement, it means to find the product/multiply.

Therefore, we can evaluate 77% of 80 as


0.77*80=61.6

The correct answer is 61.6.
