Answer 1

You can use several ways to update the value:

with validation:

refund_update.increment('price', 5)

or

refund_update.update_attributes({'price': refund_update.price+5})

without validation:

refund_update.increment!('price',5)

or

refund_update.update_attribute('price', refund_update.price+5)
