Explanation:

I always try to find the easiest way to solve this kind of questions.

The easiest percentage to calculate with is number 10.

first step , divide the whole amount of the money by ten.

as a result we get 40,000

second step, we were asked to calculate a20% so we will double the 10 percent

and the answer goes to 80,000.
