$= $ 45.6$ $=$45.6$

Explanation:

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