Question

Sanji paid 25 for two scarves which were different prices when she got home she could not find the receipt she remember that one scarf cost three dollars more than the other what was the price of the more expensive scarf

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is x = 14 the more expensive scarf

Explanation:

x + y = 25

3 + y + y = 25 (x = 3 + y)

3 + 2y = 25

2y = 25 - 3

2y = 22

y = 22/2

y = 11

x = 3 + y

x = 3 + 11

x = 14 (the more expensive scarf)

(x,y) ; (14,11)
