To find 20% of 800, follow these steps:

1. **Understand the meaning of percentage**: 20% means 20 per 100 or \( \frac{20}{100} \).
2. **Set up the calculation**: Multiply \( \frac{20}{100} \) by 800.
\[
\frac{20}{100} \times 800
\]
3. **Simplify the fraction**: \( \frac{20}{100} = 0.2 \).
\[
0.2 \times 800
\]
4. **Perform the multiplication**:
\[
0.2 \times 800 = 160
\]

**Final Answer**: The value of 20% of 800 is **160**.
The correct option is **(a) 160**.
