“I have a list of rates:
.7
.9
.8
.65
.85

And I want to increase these rates to 165 % of the original rate.”

- To increase each of the rates to 165% of their initial value, just multiply each rate by 2.65

Method:
say for example, you want to increase 0.7 to 165% of its original rate, then,
it is
= 0.7 + {(165/100)*0.7}
= 0.7 + (1.65*0.7)
= 0.7(1 + 1.65) [taking 0.7 common]
= 0.7 * 2.65

Similarly, can proceed for other rates.
