You can do this one in your head!
Think of 10% of $215,000.

In other words lose one zero and you get $21,500.

Double that to get $43,000.

20% of $215,000 is $43,000.

And to make sure you could use your calculator:
215000 * .2 = 43000

Hope that helps! Best of luck :)

43,000 because if you multiply 215,000 by .20 which is 20%, you will get 43,000
