To evaluate the solution to the question, we need to express the percentage as a fraction.
77% can be expressed as
[tex]\frac{77}{100}=0.77[/tex]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
[tex]0.77\times80=61.6[/tex]The correct answer is 61.6.
