Let price of one scarf be $x
Price of the other is 3 more than $x
Therefore price of the other scarf =$x +3
The total price she paid = $25.00
That is, x+x+3=25
2x+3=25
2x=25-3
2x=22
x=22/2
x=11
The price of one scarf is $11 and the price of the other is 11+3=$14
The price of the expensive scarf =$14.
(9+w)w=252 or w(w+9)=252.
The quadratic equation applies: w²+9w-252=0=(w+21)(w-12), so w=12, because a negative zero is meaningless.
So the dimensions are width=12 in and length=21 in.
