Answer 1

The third option represents the proper calculation for 80% of 88

Answer 2

$\sf Hello!$

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

$\sf Then,$

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

⇒ $\sf x = \dfrac{\sf 80}{\sf 100} × \sf 88$

⇒ $\sf x = \dfrac{\sf 4}{\sf 5} × 88$

⇒ $\boxed{\sf x = 70.4}$

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