The retail cost of a tv is 55% more than its wholesale cost. Therefore the retail is what times the wholesale cost?

Question

Let's say that the wholesale cost is 100 dollars, then the retail cost would be 155 dollars. To get to that number, you would have to multiply 100 by 1.55, the one representing they 100 dollars you already have and the .55 representing the percentage at which it is increased by. This would hold true for any value you plug in to the wholesale of the TV. For example, if the TV is 400 dollars 400 * 1.55 = 620.
You can also use this method with any other percentage amount, if it's 40 percent more, it's multiplied by 1.40.
