So, If 80% of 1,000 didn't know the name that means 800 people did not know the name.
                   (1000 x .8 = 800)

200 people knew the name of the congressman.

the answer to this question is 800 people knew the name of the congressman.

                                         100%    =     1000 people

You do 80* 1000=80,000  then you d 80,000/100=800 and there is your answer,
