Answer 2

1.06x

Explanation:

The original price of a carrot cake is represented by x.

Emily increased the price of carrot cakes at her bakery by 6%.

We need to find an expression that represents the price of a carrot cake after the increase.

Price = x+6% of x

`=x+(6)/(100)x\\\\=x+0.06x\\\\=1.06x`

Hence, the required equation is "1.06x".
