Question

Rs. 49.25p. was divided among 150 children such that
each boy got 25p. and each girl 50p.. How many boys and girls
were there?​

Answer 1

ANSWER:

104

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

let the no. of boys = x

let the no. of girls = y

so, x + y = 150

25/100x + 50/100y = 49

solve the equation we get

x = 104

hence, total no. of boys and no. of girls = 104
