RUPEES AND PAISE

We know that, ₹ 1 = 100 paise

For example;

Convert ₹ 5 and ₹ 12 into paise.

₹ 5 = 5 × 100 = 500 paise

₹ 12 = 12 × 100 = 1200 paise

How to convert rupees into paise?

Process 1:

A very simple rule to convert rupees into paise  or rupees and paise into paise is to remove the symbol ₹ and / or the dot or point  (.) as the case may be and write paise (p) at the right end of the number.

For example, to convert ₹ 4.25 into paise we express it as 425 paise.

Consider some of the following examples on convert rupees into paise:

(i) ₹ 0.60 = 60 paise

(ii) ₹ 11.05 = 1105 paise

(iii) ₹ 14.00 = 1400 paise

(iv) Convert ₹ 12.40 into paise.

To convert this into paise, simply remove the symbol and then the point and write the paise at the end.

So, ₹ 12.40 = 1240 p

More examples on converting rupees and paise into paise:

1. ₹ 3 into paise.

= 3 × 100 paise = 300 paise

So,  ₹ 3 = 300 p

2. ₹ 9.00 = 900 p

3. ₹ 15.75 = 1575 p

4. ₹ 83.35 = 8335 p

5. ₹ 215.70 = 21570 p

Process 2: (using process 2 we will solve the same examples of process 1)

We know that 1 rupee = 100 paise. When we convert rupees and paise into paise, we multiply the number of rupees by 100 and then we add the existing paise to the product.

For example, ₹ 4.25 = ₹ 4 + 25 paise

                                = 4 × 100 paise + 25 paise

                                = 400 paise + 25 paise

                                = 425 paise

Consider some of the following examples on Convert Rupees into Paise:

To convert rupees and paise into paise, we multiply the rupees by 100 and then add the existing paise to the product.

(i) ₹ 0.60 = ₹ 0 + 60 paise

                 = 0 × 100 paise + 60 paise

                 = 0 paise + 60 paise

                 = 60 paise

(ii) ₹ 11.05 = ₹ 11 + 05 paise

                   = 11 × 100 paise + 05 paise

                   = 1100 paise + 05 paise

                   = 1105 paise                                      

(iii) ₹ 14.00  = ₹ 14 + 00 paise

                     = 14 × 100 paise + 00 paise

                     = 1400 paise + 00 paise

                     = 1400 paise

(iv) ₹ 12.40 into paise.

Solution:

Amount in words - Twelve rupees and forty paise

12 × 100 paise + 40 paise = 1240 paise

So, ₹ 12.40 = 1240 p

More examples on converting rupees and paise into paise:

1. Convert ₹ 18.25 into paise.

= ₹ 18 + 25 p

= 18 × 100 p + 25 p

= 1800 p + 25 p

= 1825 p

2. 464.80 = ₹ 464 + 80 p

               = 464 × 100 p +80 p

               = 46400 p + 80 p

               = 46480 p
