مِئَةٍ — one hundred. A number word 'one hundred', the first part of a compound figure, in the genitive because the preceding 'about' governs it. It heads the count and waits for the linked 'and fifty' to complete the total. Arabic builds compound numbers by chaining the parts.

وَقَدْ تَجَاوَزَ عَدَدُ مُؤَلَّفَاتِهِ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ كِتَابٍ
The number of his authored works exceeded four hundred books.
مِئَةٍ — hundred. The 'hundred' that the 'four' before it counts, and after a number like this the counted word stands singular in the after-a-number case — 'four hundred', literally 'four of hundred'. The singular-after-number rule has no English parallel.
