If the price is $ 100. then the selling price will be $ 115. ( increase of 15%)
If the price is $ 230. then the selling price will be
= $ 230 xX 115 / 100
= $ 264.50

the original amount would be $195.5. you would have to find 15% of $230.00 which is $34.5. to find that you would do, $230 times $0.15. then you subtract $34.5 from $230 which then gives you $195.5
