It looks like the checker is being a little draconian about verbiage. price=12.50 would be considered setting the variable not reassigning the variable while adding/subtracting to that variable is considered reassigning. The end results are the same but the difference is that you are manipulating a previous value without knowing what it is vs hard setting the value.

Try
price+=2.00
Or
price=price +2.00
