The Total price of magazine sold on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, she sold $66 .

if she sold $3 more on Thursday than she did on Friday and $6 more on Saturday than she did on Thursday. The expression of the sales can be given as

Let T represent Thursday

F represent Friday

S represent Saturday such that

T + F+ S= 66

T+ T-3 + T+6= 66

Step 2----- Solving

T+ T-3 + T+6= 66

3T - 3+ 6=66

3T+3= 66

3T= 66-3

3T=63

T= 63/3

T= 21

F= T-3= 21-3 =18

S = T+6 = 21+6= 27

She sold 21 magazines on Thursday, 18 on Friday and 27 on Saturday
