Express as rupees using decimals:

(i) 8 paise
(ii) 9 rupees 75 paise
(iii) 8 rupees 5 paise

Answer 1

We have:
(i) 8 paise = Rs $\frac{8}{100}$ = Rs 0.08

(ii) 9 rupees 75 paise = Rs $\left(9+\frac{75}{100}\right)=\mathrm{Rs}(9+0.75)$ = Rs 9.75

(iii) 8 rupees 5 paise = $\mathrm{Rs}\left(8+\frac{5}{100}\right)=\mathrm{Rs}(8+0.05)$= Rs 8.05
