To increase by 35%, we use the multiplier 1.35
Think of it as 100% + 35% = 1.00 + 0.35 = 1.35
Therefore, sales in 2018 were 1.35*550000 = $742,500
-----------------
The slightly longer way is to have these calculations:
35% of 550,000 = 0.35*550000 = 192500
550000 + 192500 = $742,500
-----------------
Answer: $742,500
