Question

What is 110% of 80 (With work please)

Answer 1

if we take 80 as the 100%, what is 110% of that?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 80&100\\ x&110 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{80}{x}=\cfrac{100}{110}\implies \cfrac{80}{x}=\cfrac{10}{11}\implies 880=10x \\\\\\ \cfrac{880}{10}=x\implies 88=x$

Answer 2

All we need to do to answer this question is find 10% of 80, and add that to 80 to find 110%.

To find 10% of 80, multiply it by the decimal of 10%, or .1.

80*.1=8.

Now, add 8 to 80 to get 110% of 80.

80+8=88

110% of 80 is 88.

Hope this helps!
