To find the percentage of $80 that equals $68, you can set up the equation:
\[
\frac{x}{100} \times 80 = 68
\]
To solve for \(x\), follow these steps:
1. Multiply both sides by 100 to eliminate the fraction:
\[
x \times 80 = 6800
\]
2. Divide both sides by 80 to isolate \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{6800}{80} = 85
\]
Therefore, the answer is:
\[
85\%
\]
