If the answer is "per square metre", then it should have been written as 80
ZA/m^2 not ZA-m^2. a - is not the same as a /. Or it could have been
written as 80 ZA.m^-2. Not a dash, but a dot for the multiplier and a
negative exponent, not a positive one.

THE ANSWER, by the way:
80 ZA-m^2 is eighty zettaamperes per square meter.
Not too often you get to use zetta! My sister had asked me what
the prefix
should be, knowing that I am an SI nut, and we had fun with this.
It could
also be
0.08 YA-m^2 (0.08 yottaamperes per square meter).
We figured e27 must be "lotta".
