Answer:
Let number of boys be x and number of girls be y
Since, Total number of children's are 150
∴ x+y=150 ....(1)
Rs. 58 is divided among 150 children such that each girl gets 25p and each boy get 50p
∴ Out of Rs.58 Boys will get Rs. 0.25x and girls will get Rs. 0.5y.
∴
100
25
x+
100
50
y=58
∴x+2y=232 ...(2)
Subtract equation (1) from equation (2), we get y=82
And put y=82 in equation (1)
x=68 and y=82
Number of boys are 68
