1. **State the problem:**
Several years ago, Clair bought a comic book for 10. At a recent auction, it sold for 200. We need to find what percent the new value (200) is of the original price (10).
2. **Formula used:**
To find what percent one number is of another, use:
$$\text{Percent} = \left(\frac{\text{New Value}}{\text{Original Value}}\right) \times 100$$
3. **Apply the formula:**
$$\text{Percent} = \left(\frac{200}{10}\right) \times 100$$
4. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{200}{10} = \cancel{\frac{200}{10}}^{20}$$
5. **Calculate the percent:**
$$20 \times 100 = 2000\%$$
6. **Interpretation:**
The new value is 2000% of the original price, meaning it is 20 times the original price.
7. **Final answer:**
The new value is 2000% of the original price.
