Let's find the difference between the prices.

2.86-2.81=0.05; now let's see what percent 0.05 is of 2.81.

0.05/2.81

0.0178= 1.78%=1.8%

So, it increased about 1.8%.

Answer:

$no \: solution$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Expand

$6x - 36 - 5x + 35 = x + 6$

2) Simplify 6x - 36 - 5x + 35 to x - 1.

$x - 1 = x + 6$

3) Cancle x on both sides.

4) Since −1 = 6 is false, there is no solution.

No Solution

Hence, this equation have no solution.
