Okay, to start, we need to find how much they increased the price!

$119 - $68 = $51

They increased the total price by $59

To find the percent of increase, we need to know what percent of $68 is $59

We can discover this with simple division

59 / 68 = 0.867

This means that there was about an 87% increase in price for the shoes!
