I made an understanding with the following phrases.
[of]-----that is / are ; being
[some fool of a boy]-----add to a boy the character of some fool
[the problem of unemployment] ------ to add to unemployment the character of the problem
[the problem is unemployment = the problem proves to be unemployment / to give character of problem to unemployment]
[the city of New York]-----to add to New York the name / character of city
[the dome shape of the screen]------add the quality of the dome shape to the screen
a price increase of 15 per cent-----15 per cent has price on willing accept an action of increase
[at the age of eight]----give the meaning of age to eight
[the art of painting] -----give painting the guality of the art
another way:
[a price increase of 15 per cent] (this is a sentence:“price becomes increase at 15 per cent” )-----to 15 per cent, price takes an action of increase
