Hi there,
100 + 3.5
= 103.5%
= 103.5/100 = 1.035
$1200 x 1.035^12
= $1813.28 after a year.
Hope this helps :-)

-------------
If it's 3.5% per month (not likely, that's loan shark interest) the other tutor's answer is good.

If it's 3.5% per year compounded monthly that's 3.5%/12 per month.
Use (1 + 0.035/12)^12 as the multiplier.
