Answer: $205.33

Explanation:

We know the original price was $234, during the sale there was a 35% discount, let's found out what that is...

234 * (100% - 35%)

234 * (65%)

234 * (0.65)

= 152.1

After the sale, the price was increased by 35%, remember percentages are out of 100...

100% + 35% = 135%

135% = 1.35

152.1 * 1.35

= $205.33

The price of the camera after the increase is $205.33, I hope this helps!
