Answer:

$14.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of dry cleaning a vest = $5

The new price of dry cleaning a vest = $6

The percentage increase is obtained by

\frac{new price-old price}{old price}× 100

\frac{6-5}{5}×100 = 20%

hence, there is a 20% increase in price.

applying this 20% increase to the cost of dry cleaning, the new cost will become

\frac{100+20}{100}×12

this is a 120% increase in cost.

mathematically this can be solved by

\frac{120}{100}×12 = $14.4

hence, the new cost of dry cleaning is $14.4
