Question 242698
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


He gets what he was getting before (100% = 1.00) plus 20% of what he was getting before.  "of" means multiply, so 20% (and 20% = .20) of what he was getting before is 0.20 X 7.00.


You can do this one of two ways, multiply 0.20 times 7.00 and then add the result to 7.00


Or you can multiply 1.20 (which is 1.00 plus 0.20) times 7.00.


Comes out the same either way.
