To determine which options are equivalent to 80%, we need to understand what percentage means.
Percentage is a way to express a part of a whole in terms of 100. In other words, if we say 80%, we are saying that the value being referred to is 80 parts out of 100.
To find the equivalent values, we need to convert the fractions and decimals into a percentage.
Let's go through each option:
A. 0.08: To convert a decimal to a percentage, we move the decimal point two places to the right and add a percent sign (%). Therefore, 0.08 is equivalent to 8%.
B. 5/8: To convert a fraction to a percentage, we divide the numerator (top) by the denominator (bottom), multiply it by 100, and add a percent sign (%). Therefore, 5/8 is equivalent to (5/8) * 100 = 62.5%.
C. 0.8: Similar to option A, we move the decimal point two places to the right and add a percent sign (%). Therefore, 0.8 is equivalent to 80%.
D. 4/5: Following the same process as option B, we have (4/5) * 100 = 80%. Therefore, 4/5 is equivalent to 80%.
E. 80: Since this value is already given as 80, it is equivalent to 80%.
From the calculation, we can see that options C and D, which are 0.8 and 4/5, are equivalent to 80%.
Therefore, the two answers that are equivalent to 80% are:
C. 0.8
D. 4/5
