Two hundredths [2/100] is the same as 2 in every hundred [or 2%].

800 is the same as 8 x 100; or 8 hundreds.

So "2/100 of 800" is 2 in every one of those 8 hundreds; or 2 x 8 = 16.

To work this out divide 800 by 100 then multiply by 2. The answer is 16. Alternatively if it is a mental arithmetic question take off the 2 zeros and multiply by 2. 8 X 2 = 16
