Celina bought her hand bag for $90. the purse increased in value by 50%. what is the sales price of the hand bag now?

90 ==> 100 %
x ==> 150 %

x = 90*150/100 = 135

In short, the sales price of the hand bag now is 135 dollars.

Hope this helps !

90+90*0.5 = 90+45 = 135
OR
90*1.5 = 135
These are the same things. The sales price of the hand bag now is 135 dollars
