What is the result of 15% of 80?

A) 10

B) 14

C) 12

To find 15% of 80, you can convert the percentage to a decimal and then multiply it by the number.

First, convert 15% to a decimal by dividing it by 100, which gives you 0.15. Next, multiply this decimal by 80:

0.15 × 80 = 12.

This calculation shows that 15% of 80 is indeed 12. Therefore, the correct answer accurately reflects this computation.

Other choices do not represent the correct multiplication of 15% with 80 and thus do not yield the correct result.

D) 16
