Answer 2

Answer:

First of all, the variable $p$ represents an unknown quantity, it could stand for "population", but we don't exactly, we just can say that it's an unknown quantity that can variate.

In second place, 0.80 means a portion of the variable $p$, in this case, it represents an 80%, so the expression $0.80p$, expresses the 80% of $p$.

At last, 320 represent the result of the 80% of $p$.

So, we can say that the expression states

"The 80% of p is 320".
