I have an example of a previous problem if that might help? 63/84 = x/100 
x = 75

Rx1nyDxyz · Answer

Yeah, you're heading in the right direction.

Rx1nyDxyz · Answer

Ok, when you're increasing, you multiply the original price by what?

Are you there?

brusslesprout · Answer

I'm here. My apologies

Rx1nyDxyz · Answer

That's alright. Anyway, what do you think you multiply the original price by?

Rx1nyDxyz · Answer

If you don't know, i'll help you out. It's by the 1+ percent of increase. For this problem, it would be 1.24

Rx1nyDxyz · Answer

So, what's 25 x 1.24

Rx1nyDxyz · Answer
