Let us assume the number of story books that Siti has = x
Then
The number of story books that Amy has = x + 70
The number of story books that Tina has = (x + 70) + 50
   = x + 120
Then
x + x + 120 + x + 70 = 630
3x + 190 = 630
3x = 630 - 190
3x = 440
x = 440/3
Then
The number of books that Tina has = (440/3) + 120
   = (440 + 360)/3
   = 800/3
   = 266.66
So Tina has 267 books as the number of books cannot be represented by a fraction.

Answer from: jr928718

Siti's books = x
Amy's books = x+70
Tina's books = (x+70)+50=x+120

All books = x + (x+70) + (x+120)
And all books = 630

It means equation:
      x + x + 70 + x + 120 = 630
      3x + 190 = 630
subtract 190 from both sides: -190 -190
   3x = 440
divide both sides by 3:    :3    :3
   x = 146 2/3

Tina's books: x+120 = 146 2/3 +120=266 2/3

It means Tina has 266 or 267 story books (because book in fractions doesn't count for a book)
Or you wrote wrong numbers :)

Answer from: Quest

62.5 paisa

step-by-step explanation:

4000*70 = 280000

280000-(2000*90) = 100000

4000-2400 = 1600

100000/1600 = 62.5
