You need to have a graph of the solubility or a table listing the solubility. I don't have those.
Note the correct spelling of Celsius.
at 30degrees celcius, 80 grams of potassium bromide is dissolved in 100 grams of water. is this solution unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated.

You'd have to look up the solubility of that compound in water to come up with an answer. I am surprised that they would assign such a question in 9th grade science. My handbook of physics and chemistry states that 53 grams of KBr will dissolve in 100 g of water at 0 C and 102 g will dissolve at 100 C. It is likely that about 65-75 g will dissolve in a saturated solution at 30 C. That would mean the solution is supersaturated. It could however be saturated. It is too close to call with the data I have. My handbook does not have the solubility at 30 C.
Were you possibly given a graph of solubility vs. temperature as part of this question? If so, that will tell you the answer.

My supposition was that a graph was furnished.
This solution is supersaturated because solubility of KBr at 30*C is 70.7 so it is supersaturated
