Question

What is 80% of 98?

Answer 1

78.4 or `392/5`

Explanation:

80% of a value is equal to `4/5` of that same value (if we simplify `80/100` ).

`80/100**x = 4/5**x`

Therefore, to find 80% of 98, we substitute 98 as x and multiply it by `4/5`

`4/5**98 = 7840/100 = 392/5 = 78.4`

We can choose to keep in fraction form if the answer is to be in exact values , or we can choose to convert the answer to a decimal.
