We have to find what 20% of $1,800 is.

We can do this by multiplying 0.20 and $1,800
Lets do that :)

0.20 x $1,800 = $360

Now we know that 20% of $1,800 is $360

Since it is asking for his new salary with an extra 20%
we add $1,800 and $360

Soo..
$1,800 + $360 = $2,160

This means that mark's new paycheck is $2,169

Good Luck! :)
