The value of 135% is $67.5
Explanation:
Given: 100% = $50
In that, if we find 25% of $50, we get
[tex]\frac{25}{100} \times \$ 50=\frac{50}{4}=\$ 12.5[/tex]
So, 125% = $50 + $12.5 = $62.5 (as given in the question)
Finding 25 % of given value and obtained value gets added to the original to the value for specified percentage.
Similarly, now find 135% of $12.5, we get
[tex]\$ 50 \times \frac{35}{100}=\$ 17.5[/tex]
By adding 35% + 100% = 135%
Therefore, we get the value for 135% by adding $50 and $17.5
135% = $50 + $17.5 = $67.5
