If Janice bought the bottles of perfume yesterday then her total cost would be as follows.

Each bottle costs 6.03 $

So six bottles cost 6 * 6.03 =  36.18

The cost would have been 36$ and  20 cents

If she bought the bottles today after the increase, then her total cost would be as follows.

Each bottle would now cost 6.03 + 0.06 = 6.09

The price for 6 bottles would be 6.09 * 6 = 36.54

Therefore the cost would be 36 $ and 50 cents
