Answer:

$26.

Step-by-step explanation:

His original salary was $20. It increased by 20%. In other words, the total salary he earns is now:

[tex]20+20(.3)=20(1.3)=26[/tex]

His new salary is $26.

Note: For the second step, I used the distributive property.

[tex]20(1)+20(.3)=20(1+.3)=20(1.3)[/tex]
