THAN THE PURSE FIND THE COST OF
PURSE?
To find the cost of the purse, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's assume the cost of the purse is "x" rupees. Since the necklace costs 18.20 rupees more than the purse, we can say the cost of the necklace is "x + 18.20" rupees.
According to the given information, Shanze paid a total of 98 rupees for the necklace and purse. So, we can set up the equation:
x + (x + 18.20) = 98
Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of x, which represents the cost of the purse:
2x + 18.20 = 98
2x = 98 - 18.20
2x = 79.80
x = 79.80 / 2
x = 39.90
Therefore, the cost of the purse is 39.90 rupees.
Let x = purse
x + x + 18.20 = 98
2x = 79.80
x = 39.90
