Sonji paid $25 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

let's let the cheaper scarf be x
if one scarf "costs $3 more than the other" that means the second, more expensive scarf cost x + 3

she paid $25 altogether, so x + (x+3) = 25. solve for x. however, since it asks for the price of the more expensive scarf, you must evaluate x + 3 once you have your x-value.
