1.12 * Sales =
1.12 * 89462 =
100197.44

You are using 20% instead of 12%.
1 + 0.12 = 1.12, not 1.20

Quick answer: multiply 89,462 by 1.12
(89,462)(1.12) = 100,197.44
Why?
sales after increase = sales before increase + (percentage of increase)(sales before increase)
sales after increase
= 89,462 + (0.12)(89,462)
= 89,462(1 + 0.12)
= 89,462(1.12)
= 100,197.44
