Question

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?

$11
$12
$13
$14.

Answer 1

Answer: the answer is $13

Step-by-step explantion

To show work subtract 25 from all the answer so it would be:

• $25 - $11 = $13 (13 is 3 more than 11) so $13 would be the answer because it said to find the scarf that cost $3 more than the other one so that means the the less expensive scarf is $11

• $25 - $12 = $13 (13 is 1 more than 12)
• $25 - $13 = $12 (12 is 1 less than 13)
• $25 - $14 = $11 (11 is 3 less than 14)
