Dollar and Cent Riddle
I went to the bookshop and spent one-half of the money that was in my purse.
When I came out, I found that I had as many cents as I had dollars and half as many dollars as I had cents when I went in. Find the money in my purse when I entered the store. 
I don’t see a solution here. Lets say for example that I had 80$ and 40 cent.
Then after spending half of my money I have now 40$ and 20 cents. So in dollars I have now as much as I had cents when I went is but I don’t have as many cents as I had dollars. and if I spent only dollars without cents there are a lot of solutions.
I thought that the only way to solve it is to take in consideration that I had to change one dollar into cents because I didn’t had enough cents (like something cost xx.50 and I only had 10 cents)
The only solution I can think of is that i had 151.5$. after spending half I have 75.75$ (so dollar and cents are the same and if we say that I had 150$ and 150 cents then I have half as many dollars (0.5*150) as I had cents when I went in
