Answer 1

Amount returned will be $14.80

So option (D) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given the purchase price of store = $80

To sell the dress price is marked up by 19 %

So marked up price
`=80+(80* 19)/(100)=$95.2`

He give the $110 to clerk

We have to find the amount which is returned by clerk

So the amount will be equal to $110-$95.2 = $14.8

So option (d) will be correct answer
