Question

Sonji paid $25.00 for two scarves, which were different prices. When she got home she could not find the receipt. She remembered that one scarf cost $3 more than the other. What was the price of the more expensive scarf?

Answer 1

the first step is to make an equation pertaining to the problem

1 scarf is three more than the other one (1x)+3
she bought two scarves from the store 2

the total was 25.

using that info we make equation (2x)+3=25
solve for X 25-3=22 22/2=11
That answer is that one scarf was 11 dollars and the other one was 14 dollars.

Answer 2

The answer is $14.00. Hope I helped :)
