The percent of the original price, the new price is given as 86.9%
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, In August, Ralph bought a new set of golf clubs that cost $565.
The cost of the clubs was marked up to $650 in October.

The formula is normally partial/whole equals to percentage/100. In this case $565 is partial because the price increased.
So it will be,
Whenever you get results like these, you just need to round to the nearest hundredths place, which is 86.9%.
Hence, the percentage is 86.9%
