Question

Priya had Rs 800. She spent Rs 250 on purchasing handbag and Rs 150 on purchasing books. What fraction of amount did she spend in all ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Priya spent $1/2$  of the money she had .

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Priya had $800$ rupees. She spent $250$ rupees and $150$ rupees on purchasing a handbag and books respectively. We need to find the fraction of the amount that she spent to the amount she got.

To find out the fraction, we first calculate the total amount she spent .

In total she spent $250+150=400$ rupees.

So the fraction $=400/800$

                         $=1/2$ .

Or otherwise, $400$ is the half of $800$ ,

so she spent half portion of the money she had.

Hence the answer.
