increased to bring the? price back to $150? (round to the nearest %)
(show work)
 
$150 X .40 = 60 (to get the discount)
$150 - $60 = $90 (Price after discount)
The next step is determining:
What % of $90 is $60? Or in other words, what percentage of $90 would equate to an increase of $60?
This can be determined by 60 divided by 90... 67%
