Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the Selling Price of the Lamp

To find the selling price of the lamp, we need to calculate 30% more than the cost price. The cost to make the lamp is $36.

First, calculate 30% of $36: \[ 0.30 \times 36 = 10.8 \]

Next, add this amount to the original cost to find the selling price: \[ 36 + 10.8 = 46.8 \]

Final Answer

The selling price of the lamp is \(\boxed{46.8}\).

Step 2: Convert Percentage to Decimal

To convert 9.2% to a decimal, divide by 100: \[ 9.2\% = \frac{9.2}{100} = 0.092 \]

Final Answer

The decimal representation of 9.2% is \(\boxed{0.092}\).
