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?

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.
