There are two ways you could do this:

1. (if you have a calculator) This is called decimal multipliers, and basically all you do is multiply 160 by 1.3 because 1.3 is 1 (160) and 0.3 (30%) so you would get 208.

2. (without a calculator) This is the 'long way'. You do 160 ÷ 10 = 16 = 10%, and then 16 × 3 = 48 = 30%. After this you just add 48 on to 160 to get 208.

Hope this helps!
