Question

Crispy Clover, a popular vegetarian restaurant, introduced a new menu that has 20% more dishes than the previous menu. The previous menu had D dishes. Which of the following expressions could represent how many dishes Crispy Clover's new menu has?

Answer 1

D*1.2 (OR) 1.2D

Explanation:

Because the new menu has one hundred percent of the original menu (D), plus twenty percent, the new menu is 120%, or 1.2

You can then multiply the number of items on the original menu (D), by the new menu's value, which is 1.2 (or 120%).

This brings you to the answer of 1.2D
