I'm taking statistics and I just can't seem to figure out this problem. I know it's probably really easy but I just can't seem to figure it out. It would help so much if you can show me how you got the answer. Thanks in advance!!

Work backwards.
If the avg of 22 people is $1640, then their total salaries are $36,080 (22*1640).
With the manager included, the total salaries of 23 people is $41,860. Subtract the first amount (without the manager's salary) from the second amount (the amount including the manager's salary)
$41,860-$36,080 = $5,780.
The manager's salary is $5,780.
