Step 1. calculate the totay pay (not including taxes)
Since he worked 20 hours with an hourly pay of $10, the total was:
[tex]20\times10=200[/tex]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%:
[tex]\frac{200}{100}\times12[/tex]solving this operations we get:
[tex]\frac{200}{100}\times12=24[/tex]He paid $24 in taxes
Step 3. Calculate the remaining amount
We substract $24 from the initial total amount $200:
[tex]200-24=176[/tex]Answer:
How much money was left? $176
