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](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/t3mt1fgpqah62zzzmz1887mdsgl40jki2s.png)
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](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/diztwjq0l03yoz6zp3g7nm6e05v8tm90r1.png)
