Rupees and Paise (Posted on 2003-03-16) Difficulty: 3 of 5
I entered a store and spent one-half of the money that was in my wallet. When I came out I found that I had just as many paise as I had rupees and half as many rupees as I had paise when I went in.

How much money did I have with me when I entered the store ?

( Given: 1 Rupee = 100 Paise ).

I had entered the store I must have had with me 99 Rupees and 98 Paise.

When I spent exactly half the amount I initially had, I had left with me 49 Rupees and 99 Paise, which clearly shows that when I came out of the store, I had as may Paise as I had Rupees and half as many Rupees as I had Paise when I entered the store.
