In the question it is given that,

The students at Midtown Middle school sold flowers as a fundraiser in September and October. In October, they charged $1.50 for each flower

And the October price was a 20% increase of the September price.

Let the price of the flower in October be $x

So we have

$x+ \frac{20}{100}x = 1.50 \\ \frac{120x}{100} = 1.50 \\ x = \frac{1.50*100}{120} = 1.25$
