You take the .8 and multiply it by 100 because a percent of something is one hundredths of 1. For example, 75 cents is 75 one hundredths of a dollar. 75 cents is written as .75 in decimal form. .75 (75 cents) is 75% of 1 dollar. To change 75 cents or .75 to a percent, you just multiply it by 100 which .75 times 100 is 75. So, to find out what .8 is as a percent you just multiply it by 100 which is 80.
