I have a chem final next week and I have a question I am stuck on....

I have a chem final next week and I have a question I am stuck on. If you solve, please explain the steps. I will 'like' your response. Thanks in advance!

1. Calculate how many mL of 0.10M KOH must be added to 100.0mL of 0.20M formic acid solution to make a pH = 3.50 buffer. pKa(HCOOH) = 3.74

I keep getting 115mL by plugging in all given info to the equation pH=pka+log(b/a) and solving for x then converting to L then to mL. But the correct answer is 73mL. In her explanation, she uses an ICE table to get concentration of acid and plugs that into the equation (ends up being 20mml-x) and solving for x. But I don't know why she does that or why my method didn't work. Any insight you have is much appreciated!
