Question

A store has some dresses that cost the store $38 each. The manager want to sell them at a profit of 20% of it cost. What price should the store charge for each piece?

Answer 1

`=$45.6`

Explanation:

To find the price the store should sell the dresses at, you can add `20%`, or `0.2x` of the price to the purchase price of the store. Therefore, the expression
`1.2x`, where `x` is the store's purchase price of the dress.
`1.2x`
`1.2($38)`
`=$45.6`
