It is 127*1.03=130.81 tons.
Looking at the question, you want something larger than 127 tons, because 103% is more than 100%. If you end up with a smaller number, you went the wrong way. That is a key to solving these kinds of problems. Talk them out loud to yourself and get a sense for what the answer should be.
