The problem asks: 

"A grocery store sells a bag of 3 oranges for $0.96. How much would it cost for 4 oranges?"

To solve this, we can use a proportion:

\[
\frac{3 \text{ oranges}}{0.96 \text{ dollars}} = \frac{4 \text{ oranges}}{x \text{ dollars}}
\]

Where $ x $ is the cost for 4 oranges. Now, solve for $ x $:

1. Cross-multiply: 
\[
3x = 4 \times 0.96
\]

2. Multiply: 
\[
3x = 3.84
\]

3. Solve for $ x $ by dividing both sides by 3:
\[
x = \frac{3.84}{3} = 1.28
\]

So, the cost for 4 oranges is **$1.28**.
