Question

Express as rupees as decimals: $77$ rupees $77$ paise.

Answer 1

Step 1: Convert the currency from paise to rupees

Given currency: $77$ rupees $77$ paise.

It is known that, $1$ paise $=\frac{1}{100}$rupees $=0.01$ rupees.

Thus, $77$ paise $=\left(77\times 0.01\right)$ rupees $=0.77$ rupees.

Step 2: Add two given rupees

$77$ rupees $77$ paise

$=77$ rupees $+0.77$ rupees

$=77.77$ rupees

Therefore, the given currency can be expressed in rupees as $\mathbf{77}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{77}$ rupees.
