Question

Express the following in rupees using decimals.

$1$rupee and $75$ paise

Answer 1

Converting paise into rupees

We know that the $1$rupee $=100$paise

Now, $1$paise $=\frac{1}{100}$rupees

Hence, $75$ paise

$$\begin{gathered} =75\times \frac{1}{100} \\ =\frac{75}{100}=0.75Rs \end{gathered}$$

So, $1$rupee $75$paise $=$ $($$1.00+0.75)=1.75Rs$.

Therefore, $1$rupee $75$paise is equal to $Rs.$ $1.75$ in decimal.
