Question

a jeweler buys a ring for $85.00 and sell it with 135% increase in price. How much did he sell it for?

Answer 1

well if the increase is 135% then
actual price=85
135% of actual price=114.75
new price
= actual price + increased price
= 85+114.75
=119.75

Answer 2

135% increase in price.

Means the new price is now 100% + 135% = 235% of the price bought.

= 235%  of 85

=  235/100 * 85  =  2.35 * 85 = 199.75

He sold it for $199.75.
