( 30 POINTS IF YOU SEE THIS ANSWER IT PLEASE ITS EASY)

Liz wanted to buy a new book. When she checked the price last week, it was $19. This week, the same book was listed for $22. Write and solve an equation to show how much the book increased in price.

22 = p + 19; p = $3
22 = p − 19; p = $41
19 + p = 41; p = $22
2p = 22; p = $11
