"lbs" is just the abbreviation for "pounds" - so the answer is 80 pounds = 80 lbs.

Are you referring to the Avoirdupois pound? Or the Troy, Tower, Market or London pound?
The word “pound” comes from the Latin word pendere, meaning “to weigh”. The Latin word libra means “scales, balances" and it also describes a Roman unit of mass similar to a pound. This is the origin of the abbreviation “lb” or “â” for the pound. The “s” at the end of “lbs” simply denotes the plural form.
