First find the total cost of Jerry's lost salary: $50,000/year * 30 years = $<<50000*30=1500000>>1,500,000
Then add the cost of the medical bills: $1,500,000 + $200,000 = $<<1500000+200000=1700000>>1,700,000
Then triple that number to find the cost of the punitive damages: $1,700,000 * 3 = $<<1700000*3=5100000>>5,100,000
Then add the cost of the medical and salary damages to find how much Jerry asked for: $1,700,000 + $5,100,000 = $<<1700000+5100000=6800000>>6,800,000
Then multiply that number by 80% to find how much money Jerry is awarded: $6,800,000 * 80% = $<<6800000*0.8=5440000>>5,440,000
