Solution

Step 1: Find the cost of one pair of earrings. Since a pair of earrings cost half as much as a hairband, and each hairband costs Rs. 77, one pair of earrings would cost Rs. 77/2 = Rs. 38.5.

Step 2: Find the total cost of the earrings. Pranjali bought 10 pairs of earrings, so the total cost of the earrings would be 10 pairs * Rs. 38.5/pair = Rs. 385.

Step 3: Find the total cost of the hairbands. Pranjali bought 8 hairbands, so the total cost of the hairbands would be 8 hairbands * Rs. 77/hairband = Rs. 616.

Step 4: Add the total cost of the earrings and the hairbands to find the total amount Pranjali spent. Rs. 385 + Rs. 616 = Rs. 1001.

So, Pranjali spent Rs. 1001 altogether.
