  1. [If] 'left' and 'width' are 'auto' and 'right' is not 'auto', then the width is shrink-to-fit. Then solve for 'left'

  10.3.7 Absolutely positioned, non-replaced elements
  http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#abs-non-replaced-width

  So:

           auto : left
        +
            0px : margin-left
        +
           25px : border-left-width
        +
            0px : padding-left
        +
           auto : width
        +
            0px : padding-right
        +
           75px : border-right-width
        +
            0px : margin-right
        +
            80% : right
        ====================
          500px : width of containing block (width of Initial Containing Block)

  becomes

        (solve) : left
        +
            0px : margin-left
        +
           25px : border-left-width
        +
            0px : padding-left
        +
            0px : width (shrink-to-fit)
        +
            0px : padding-right
        +
           75px : border-right-width
        +
            0px : margin-right
        +
          400px : right (80% of 500px == 400px)
        ====================
          500px : width of containing block (width of Initial Containing Block)

   so used left offset value must be 0 .
