78.4 or 392/5

Explanation:

80% of a value is equal to 4/5 of that same value (if we simplify 80/100 ).

80/100**x = 4/5**x

Therefore, to find 80% of 98, we substitute 98 as x and multiply it by 4/5

4/5**98 = 7840/100 = 392/5 = 78.4

We can choose to keep in fraction form if the answer is to be in exact values , or we can choose to convert the answer to a decimal.
