$x = 110%$

Interpretation;

Let the percent be represented by $x%$

$x% color(white)x "of" color(white)x 80 = 88$

Note: $"of" = xx and a% = a/100$

$x% xx 80 = 88$

$80x% = 88$

$x% = 88/80$

$x% = 1.1$

$x/100 = 1.1$

Cross multiplying;

$x = (1.1 xx 100)%$

$x = 110%$

For clarification;

$110% color(white)x "of" color(white)x 80 = 110/100 ⋅ 80 = 88$
