Answer
This statement is true.
Work Step by Step
Let's translate this statement into an algebraic expression.
"The sum of $x$ and $6%$ of $x$" means:
$$x + 6%x$$
Let's change the percentage into a decimal by dropping the percentage sign and moving the decimal two places to the left:
$$x + 0.06x$$
"Is at least $80$" can be translated as:
$$ \geq 80$$
Let's put the two sides together:
$$x + 0.06x \geq 80$$
We can see that the two inequalities are now exactly the same; therefore, this statement is true.
