Correct Answer:
A. 560
To calculate 80% of 700, you need to understand that 'percentage' means 'per hundred'. Therefore, 80% can be written as the fraction 80/100 or the decimal 0.80.
- The calculation is: (80/100) * 700.
- This simplifies to 0.80 * 700.
- Performing the multiplication gives 560.
The other options are incorrect because they represent different numerical outcomes that would arise from miscalculations, such as using an incorrect percentage value or performing erroneous arithmetic operations.
