Answer 3

Old question, responding so this can be closed

Yesterday, she sold n wallets ---> so start with n
Today, she sold 3 fewer wallets than yesterday ---> so 3 less than n ---> (n-3)
She earned a total of $396 across those two days ---> add up the quantities and set them equal to 396

then solve for n
