Answer 3

Yes, that answer is correct. The price increased from $150 to $200, which is a $50 increase. To find the percentage increase, you would take the new value ($200) minus the old value ($150), divide that by the old value ($150), and then multiply by 100.

($200 - $150) / $150 * 100 = $50 / $150 * 100 = 0.33 * 100 = 33%

So, the price increased by 33%.
