Question 2 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY

Sonji paid 25 dollars for two scarves, which were different prices. When she got home she could not find the receipt. She remembered that one scarf cost 3 dollars more than the other. What was the price of the more expensive scarf?

Answer
A
13 dollars
B
11 dollars
C
14 dollars
D
12 dollars

Explanation

Let the less expensive scarf cost x dollars, so the more expensive one cost x + 3. Together they cost 25 dollars, so x + (x + 3) = 25, giving 2x = 22 and x = 11. The more expensive scarf cost 11 + 3 = 14 dollars, which is choice C.
