Step 1. calculate the totay pay (not including taxes)

Since he worked 20 hours with an hourly pay of $10, the total was:


20*10=200

Step 2. Calculate the taxes

We need to calculate the 12% of $200, to find the amount that he paid in taxes. For this, we divide $200 by 100 and multiply by 12%:


(200)/(100)*12

solving this operations we get:


(200)/(100)*12=24

He paid $24 in taxes

Step 3. Calculate the remaining amount

We substract $24 from the initial total amount $200:


200-24=176

Answer:

How much money was left? $176
