Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the new price of the shorts.
The original price of the shorts is given as $12. The store then marks up the price by 6%. This means that the amount by which the original price was marked up would be
6/100 × 12 × 0.06 × 12 = $0.72
The new price of the short would be the sum of the original price and the amount by which it was marked up. It becomes
x = 12 + 0.72
