Hi tb,
From a google search:
(adjust the ranges and percentage amount to your needs)
Increase Selected Numbers by a Percentage.
You may want to increase all the numbers in a range by a set
percentage. For example, in this price list, all the prices should be
increased by 5%. The following technique makes it easy to increase
the prices, all at once. In a blank cell, enter the amount of the
increase. In this example, 1.05 was entered in cell D8 Copy the cell
which contains the increase amount. Select the cells which contain
the amounts that you want to increase. Here, cells B8:B11 are
selected. On the menu bar, click Edit | Paste Special Click Values,
and click Multiply, then click OK. Each of the selected numbers is
automatically increased by 5%

Thanks, Howard!
A follow-up question: Is there a way to round/truncate the results to
two decimals?
Best regards.

After you have... "Paste Special Values Multiply OK" your field of prices that you have just increased should still be selected. Click Home Number 'click decrease (or increase) decimal points icon' until two.
Should get you there.
Regards,
Howard
