Question

Express the following in rupees using decimals.

$25$ rupees and $5$ paise

Answer 1

Converting paise to rupees :

Let us convert paise into rupees, to make our calculations easy.

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

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

Hence, $5$paise $=5\times \frac{1}{100}=\frac{5}{100}$ $=0.05$ Rs.

So, $25$ rupees $5$paise $=$Rs.$($ $25+0.05)=25.05$Rs.

Therefore, $25$ rupees and $5$paise are equal to Rs.$25.05$ in decimal.
