Answer:

Total coins Liam at the start = 9

Total money Liam in the start = €4.5

Total money Liam in the start = 450 cent

Explanation:

We know that

1€ = 100 cent

⇒1 cent = 0.01 €

⇒50 cent = 0.5€

Now,

Total money spent = €2.75

Total money left = € 1.75

So, Total money in the initial = Total money spent + Total money left

= €2.75 + €1.75 = €4.5

⇒Total money in the initial = €4.5

Now,

1€ = 100 cent

⇒€4.5 = 450 cent

Now,

As Liam has a stock of 50 cent coins

So, total coins Liam left with = 450/50 = 9 coins
