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

Answer 1

Answer:

25 ÷ 2 = 12.5 average each.

cheaper is $9.5

more expensive is $15.5

let's reverse check to confirm:

9.5 + 15.5 = $25

hence the answer is correct.
