She got 14 handkerchiefs. x+4x+8x=324=> x=25i.e she spent 25 paise on shoestrings, therefore, so she spent 8*25 paise on handerchiefs i.e 200.but She paid each item with their count as each piece?s cost.that makes the count to be 14. as 14*14=196. (nearest possible sqaureroot)so the number of handkerchiefs is 14.Cheers!!!!
