CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Increase = $35\% \text{ of } 360 = 126$ .
New output = $360 + 126 = 486$ . (Or directly: $360 \times 1.35 = 486$ .)

Worth noting

126 is only the increase. 395 comes from adding 35 bicycles instead of 35%.

Concept: Increasing a quantity by a given percentage
