80% of 80% = 0.8*0.8 = 0.64 = 64%

So a 2 cm thick glass will let in 64% of the light.

The first 1-cm of glass thickness allows of the light to filter through.
The next 1-cm of glass thickness allows of the remaining light to filter through.
The fraction that filter through the 2-cm thickness is
.
So 64% of the light will filter through.

If it is a solution of an unchanging chemical species, the concentration of that substance plays the same role as
Analytical chemists (like me) use that for chemical analysis.
