Question

· Surely that was worth at least fifty-five rupees and thirty-two paise? What is referred to as 'that'? Do you think it was worth the money?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

In conversion of money we will learn to convert the amount from rupees to paisa and from paisa to rupees.

Conversion from rupees to paisa and from paisa to rupees is based on the basic fact that Re. 1.00 = 100 paisa and 100 paisa = Re. 1.00

From this fact we find that

Re. 1.00 = 100 paisa

Rs. 2.00 = 200 paisa

Rs. 5.00 = 500 paisa

Rs. 10.00 = 1000 paisa

100 paisa = Re. 1.00

200 paisa = Re. 2.00

500 paisa = Re. 5.00

1000 paisa = Re. 10.00

1. Convert the following:

(i) Rs. 3.50 into paise

Solution:

Rs.  3.50                

= Rs. 3.00 + 50 paise

= (3 × 100) paise + 50 paise

= 300 paise + 50 paise

= 350 paise

(Thus, to convert rupees and paise into paise, we remove the point (.) and symbol Re. or Rs. and write Paise on the right of the number so obtained)

For example:

Rs. 7.25 = 725 paise

Rs. 11.85 = 1185 paise

(ii) 815 paise into rupees

Solution:

815 paise            

= 800 paise + 15 paise

= (8 × 100) paise + 15 paise

= Rs. 8 + 15 paise

= Rs. 8.15

(Thus, to convert paise into rupees and paise, the point called decimal point is placed after the two digits from the right of the number showing paise and then Re. or Rs. is written on the extreme left)

For example:

450 paise            

1375 paise      

75 paise          

47 paise        

605 paise      

745 paise    

=             Rs. 4.5

=             Rs. 13.75

=             Re. 0.75

=             Rs. 0.47

=             Rs. 6.05

=             Rs. 7.45

The conversion of the amounts of money will help the students to solve different types of problems on Indian coins and currency notes.
