Quick answer: 75.250 OMR in words is خمسة وسبعون ريالاً عمانياً ومائتان وخمسون بيسة, "seventy-five Omani rials and two hundred and fifty baisa".
How it's calculated
One Omani rial is 1,000 baisa, so amounts have three decimals: 0.5 OMR is 500 baisa, not 50. The rials come first, then و and the baisa.
ريال is masculine but بيسة is feminine, so the two parts take different number forms. From 3 to 10 the number is opposite in gender: ثلاثة ريالات but ثلاث بيسات, ثمانية ريالات but ثماني بيسات. At 1, 2, 11 and 12 it agrees: ريال واحد، بيسة واحدة، أحد عشر ريالاً، إحدى عشرة بيسة، اثنتا عشرة بيسة.
Because the baisa run to 999, the baisa part often has hundreds of its own: 0.111 is مائة وإحدى عشرة بيسة and 0.200 is مائتا بيسة. The adjective عماني follows the rial: ريال عماني، ريالان عمانيان، ريالات عمانية، ريالاً عمانياً. In English, "rial" is the usual spelling for Oman and baisa does not change in the plural. The general rules are on the number to words page.
