How much does Festive Features normally charge for a vest?

GPT 3.5 · Answer

Let v be the amount that Festive Features normally charges for a vest.
The equation that we can use to find the amount v is: 12(v-6) = 132.
Simplifying the equation, we get: 12v - 72 = 132.
Adding 72 to both sides, we get: 12v = 204.
Dividing both sides by 12, we get: v = 17.
Therefore, Festive Features normally charges $17 for a vest. Answer: \boxed{17}.
