An ice cream bar was 692 calories. If they increased the size of the bar by 3%, what is the expression to find the new calorie count?

B= ice cream bar
C= new calorie count

Expression:
C=(0.03B) + B

C=(3% * 692)+692
C=(0.03 * 692)+692
C=20.76+692
C=712.76 or rounded to 713= new calorie count

Hope this helps! :)
