Answer 2

Required Answer:-

• First write the given equation

`\qquad\quad {:}\leadsto\sf 208+10x=36x`

• interchange both sides

`\qquad\quad {:}\leadsto\sf 208=36x-10x`

`\qquad\quad {:}\leadsto\sf 26x=208`

`\qquad\quad {:}\leadsto\sf x={(208)/(26)}`

`\qquad\quad {:}\leadsto\sf x=6`

Hence correct answer is 6 purses
