9
of the amount
she has. What is the cost of the bag?

Answer 1

Given,

Riya's amount = 630

Bag's cost = 59% of her amount

To find,

The cost of the bag.

Solution,

We can quickly solve this numerical problem using the following steps.

Now,

Bag's cost = 59% of 630

Let's take the cost of the bag to be Rs. x.

x = 59% of 630

x = 59 × 630/100 (Removing the percentage from 59 will result in the number being divided by 100)

x = 37170/100

x = 371.70

( The amount was given in Indian currency: Rupees. So, here the result will also be in Rupees.)

Hence, the cost of the bag purchased by Riya will be Rs. 371.70.
