    I really had to do mental math this would be my thought process

    $100, eight percent of if would be 8 dollars

    Then I'll figure out how much is ten percent of $10 which is $0.8 and add 0.8 + 0.8 together to get 8 percent of $20

    Then I'll add it all together

    8 + 1.6 = 9.6

    120 + 9.6 = $129.6

    If you can do this mentally then do this equation below

    120 x 1.08 = $129.6
