Assume that in August 2019 the U.S. had $9 billion in clothing retail sales. Using the information in Graph B, calculate the amount of clothing retail sales in August 2020 in billions of dollars. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
Note: answering in billions means that if you think the answer is $4 billion, you should answer “4” in the box below.

To calculate the clothing retail sales in August 2020, we need the percentage change in sales from August 2019 to August 2020, which would be given in Graph B. Unfortunately, you haven't provided the graph, but here's the general approach to solving this problem:

1. **Determine the percentage change**: Identify the percentage increase or decrease in clothing retail sales from August 2019 to August 2020 from the graph.

2. **Apply the percentage change**: Use the percentage change to calculate the new sales figure for August 2020.

   \[
   \text{Sales in August 2020} = \text{Sales in August 2019} \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{Percentage Change}}{100}\right)
   \]

3. **Input the known values**:
   - Sales in August 2019 = $9 billion
   - Percentage Change = $ X $% (from the graph)

   \[
   \text{Sales in August 2020} = 9 \times \left(1 + \frac{X}{100}\right) \text{ billion dollars}
   \]

4. **Calculate and round** the result to two decimal places.

If you can provide the percentage change from the graph, I can complete the calculation for you.
