Avegetarian restaurant used 59,210 ounces of spinach last month. this month, with a menu update, it used 20% more than that amount. how much spinach did the restaurant use this month?

71,052 ounces.

first you find what 20% more would be. you do this by taking the number and multiplying it by . 2

20% more would be 11,842. then you just add this to the original number (59,210)

59,210 + 11,842 = 71,052
