If the price of a watch worth $2985 was increased by 35%, then the new price of the watch is what?

=2985×135/100

=4029.75

$4,029.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off, we want to know by how much 2985 will be increased by 35%. To do this, you want to find X in "X is 35% of 2985". To solve that, keep in mind this: "Is" will equal "=" and "of" means multiply. So when taking that in mind, that will become "X = 35% x 2985". But there's a problem, you can't multiply like that unless you turn 35% into a decimal, which is 0.35. So again its " X = 0.35 x 2985". That will be 1044.75 So 35% of 2985 is 1044.75, the amount that it goes up by. This means that since this "increases", you need to add this X value (1044.75) to the original worth of 2985. This results in $4,029.75
