To find 10 percent of a number, multiply the number by 0.1. In this instance, 0.1 x 80 = 8. Therefore, 10 percent of 80 is equal to 8.
First let's consider the definition: "per cent (per 100)". If you have 1 "per cent" it means for every 100 you would get 1.

Now, to calculate percent, drop the percentage sign and divide by 100. That is,

10% = 10/100 = 0.1

Now multiply 80 by this to get the answer, 8.
