The answer is 12.8. Below: three ways to calculate it, a mental shortcut, and the real-world contexts where this percentage shows up.
16% of 80 is 12.8.
16% off a small 80-dollar item — irregular but common in stacked coupons.
Divide the percent by 100 to convert it: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16.
Multiply: 80 × 0.16 = 12.8.
16% means 16/100. So 16% of 80 is (16 × 80) ÷ 100.
Compute: 16 × 80 = 1280, then divide: 1280 ÷ 100 = 12.8.
No single elegant mental shortcut for 16% — but you can always split: 16% = (some 10%) + (some 5%) + (some 1%). Try 1×(10% of 80) plus 6×(1% of 80).
A discount is just a percentage subtracted from the original price. To find the final price, calculate the discount first, then subtract.
