A lady goes for shopping. She bought some shoestrings. 4 times the number of shoestrings, she bought pins and 8 times, handkerchiefs. She paid each item with their count as each piece’s cost. She totally spent Rs. 3.24. How many handkerchiefs did she buy?
RE: A lady goes for shopping. She bought some shoestri...
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!!!!
