James received a bonus that is 40 percent of this monthly salary. If his monthly salary is $800 how much was his bonus?

The difficulty of this question is only in understanding and setting up the information into a math problem (like most word problems)
We are told that
a) James gets + 40% of this months salary; which is 800$

So there fore we take the 800 and multiple it by 0.40, that will give us 40% of 800.
Don't forget to ask you teacher or your peers if you don't understand. No one understands it all without asking a few questions
