Question

Express the following as rupees using decimals:

$725paise$

Answer 1

We know that, $1rupees=100paise$.

Also, $1paise=\frac{1}{100}rupees$.

For converting $paise$ into $rupees$, we have to multiply the given value by $\frac{1}{100}$.

$725paise$$=\frac{725}{100}rupees$

$=7.25rupees$ (As many number of zeros in the denominator that many numbers we will start counting from right to left in the numerator and place the decimal point)

Therefore, $725paise$$=7.25rupees$.
