The correct answer is $13.
Let's denote the cheaper scarf as x and the more expensive one as x + 3.
From the information given, we know that x + (x + 3) = $25.
Combining like terms: 2x + 3 = $25
Subtracting 3 from both sides: 2x = $22
Dividing by 2: x = $11
Therefore, the more expensive scarf (x + 3) costs $11 + $3 = $13.
