Answer

$\frac{4}{5}$

Work Step by Step

A percent means "out of 100". So, first write the percent as a fraction out of 100. $\frac{80}{100}$ Then, reduce the numerator and denominator by dividing by 10. 80 $\div$ 10 = 8 100 $\div$ 10 = 10 Now you have $\frac{8}{10}$ Then, reduce it more by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2. 8 $\div$ 2 = 4 10 $\div$ 2 = 5 The answer is $\frac{4}{5}$
