The price of the more expensive scarf was 14 dollars and the less expensive scarf was 3 dollars less or 11 dollars and if you add these up you get 25. Hope this helps.

Answer:

$14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of first scarf be x

We are given that one scarf cost $3 more than the other.

So, cost of expensive scarf = x+3

Now we are given that Sonji paid $25.00 for two scarves

So, [tex]x+x+3=25[/tex]

[tex]2x+3=25[/tex]

[tex]2x=22[/tex]

[tex]x=11[/tex]

Cost of more expensive scarf = x+3=11+3=14

Hence the price of the more expensive scarf is $14
