Default Question on how to raise a price 15% in a coloum

If you do as suggested the new answer ($1.35) is 15% of the $9.00
As other people have suggested if you use 1.15 instead of 0.15 it will
include the original value, and thus give you an answer of ($10.35)

Also, for reference, $9.00 to $12.60 is an increase of 40%
