35/2 = 17.5 = 1750%

2 cents multiplied 1750% is 35 cents.

-If your shares go up 1x you have 100% of the money you started with.
-If your shares go up 10x you have 1000% of the money you started with.
-If your shares go up 17.5x you have 1750% of the money you started with.

Now this isn't as simple as I am making it sound because you did say 'increased'.

-If your shares go up 2x you have 100% increase in the money you started with.
-If your shares go up 10x you have 900% increase in the money you started with.
-If your shares go up 17.5x you have 1650% increase in the money you started with.

Really it is all semantics about whether you are including the initial amount in the final amount you are talking about or not. I get confused with it all the time. It is almost as bad as dealing with stocks that trade either at .02 or .002 or .0002. My buddy and I refer to all those amounts as "two" and just ignore the units or we would go nuts.
