was
Answers
Answer:this question can be solved by taking the number of boys(which is asked in the question) as 'x'.
One important thing is that while doing calculations unit should be same . To convert paise into Rs. And then doing the calculations, will be a bit uneasy and hence, first we should convert 32.50 Rs. Into paise so that we can use it in our calculations..
1 Rs. = 100 paise
Thus... 32.50 Rs. = 32.50* 100 paise.
= 3250 paise..
Step-by-step explanation:Let the no. of boys be x..
Then number of girls is 50 - x. [Bcoz total no. Of children are 50].
Now, total sum received by only boys =number of boys * paise received by one boy..
Hence...
Total sum of boys = 'x' * 75 = 75x
In the same way....
Total sum of girls = (50-x) * 50 =
2500 - 50x.
According to the question;
75x + (2500 - 50x) = 3250 paise
75x - 50x + 2500 = 3250
25x = 3200 - 2500
25x = 700
x = 700/25
x = 28
Hence.. Number of boys is 28.
