The year was 1956. Seetha went to the bazaar and purchased a sari and a blouse for a total amount of RS.110/- Price of the sari was Rs.100/- more than the price of the blouse . What were the prices of sari and blouse ?
If solved algebraically, Sari Rs.105/- Blouse Rs.5/- (hope there is no hidden tax calculations) x= price of blouse , x+100=price of sari; both totally equal Rs110/- x + x+ 100 = 110; 2x + 100 = 110; 2x = 110-100; 2x = 10 ; x = 10/2; hence price of blouse ie., x= 5 ; price of sari x + 100=5 +100 = Rs. 105/- If we take this statement and split it as follows, Price of Sari is Rs.100/- definitely more than the price of blouse which then would be Rs.10/- And also, Happy Birthday Sir ! Stay healthy and blessed !
