Question

Isaiah and Chakshu went to dinner at Chili's restaurant and received a bill for $35. Isaiah paid the bill along with an additional 20% tip on his charge card. What was the total amount that he put on his charge card?

Answer 1

There are only 2 numbers here. We know he paid at least $35. We assume he paid more. So he paid some amount more than $35, and the only clue we have is that he spent 20% more.

35 = 100% of 35, so what is 120% of 35?

Answer 2

42

Answer 3

You got it.
