In math problem when you see the word "of" it usually means multiplication. So, 80% of $720.25 is the same as 80% times $720.25.

0.80 (another way of writing 80%) x $720.25 = $576.20

"Per Cent " is derived fm French meaning per Hundred
so 80% = 80%2F100
Of => *
SO you finally get
%2880%2F100%29%2A%28720.25%29
I hope you can solve from here :-)
