November 9, 2024Converting Paise Into Rupees: Most of us use rupees as our unit of discretionary spending. We often talk about ‘rupee par value,’ but do we know the basics of currency conversion and some conversion rules? We see the numbers beside the pictures of items, using terms such as buy, sell, sale, cost, price and dollars. We learned about paise and rupees and converting paise into rupees as kids.
In mathematics, money can be defined as the medium of exchange, such as notes, coins, demand deposits etc., used to pay for commodities and services. We all know that 1 rupee equals 100 paise. The symbol of the Indian Rupee is \(₹\), and INR denotes the Indian rupee, which is the country’s official currency. If we do not have the exact amount of money, we need a combination of money or money conversion to make a payment.
Money is what we give for purchasing food, toys, candy, tickets for the movies, shopping, paying, and renting a house. We give money for purchasing anything. We give money in return for buying these things or anything. This means money is anything that people use to pay for services and goods and to pay people for their work.
Traditionally, money has taken different forms in different cultures, everything from salt, stones, and beads to gold, silver, and copper coins and, more recently, virtual currency has been used.
A currency is the system of money used in a country. ‘Rupee’ is the Indian currency. The symbol of the rupee is \(₹.\) The Rupee is a combination of Paise.
The ‘US dollar’ is the official currency of the United States of America. Like this, every country has a different currency.
Sometimes, we need to convert the money into different forms. Money can be converted into two forms.
\(1\) rupee \(=100\) paise
\(100\) paise \(=1\) rupee
\(1\) paise \( = \frac{1}{{100}}\) rupees
To convert rupees into paise, multiply rupees by \(100.\)
For example: convert \(5\) rupees into paise.
We know that \(1\) rupee \(=100\) paise
Now, \(5\) rupees \(=5×100=500\) paise
Hence, \(5\) rupees is \(500\) paise
For converting paise into rupees, divide the paise by \(100.\)
For example: convert \(800\) paise into rupees.
We know that \(100\) paise \(=1\) rupee
So, \(1\) paise \( = \frac{1}{{100}}\) rupees
Now, \(800\) paise \( = \frac{{800}}{{100}} = 8\) rupees
Hence, \(800\) paise is \(8\) rupees
1. For converting paise into rupees :
Put a decimal point after two digits from the right.
OR
Count two digits from the right and put a point and also write \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.}}\) or \({\rm{Re}}{\rm{.}}\) in the beginning.
Remove the point and then remove \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.}}\) or \({\rm{Re}}{\rm{.}}\) and write the paise at the end.
OR
Shift the decimal point to two places to the right.
Coins with denominations \(1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20\) and \(25\) were in use until some time ago, which became obsolete with time.
Some of the coins that are used nowadays are given below,
Apart from the above coins of denominations of \(₹\;20, ₹\;50, ₹\;60, ₹\;75, ₹\;100, ₹\;125, ₹\;150, ₹\;200, ₹\;500,\) and \(₹\;1000,\) introduced by the Government of India from time to time are present, but not used in practice much. Those are shown below.
Some of the notes that are currently in use are given below:
1. Rupees are greater than paise. So, to convert rupees into paise, multiply by \(100.\) and for converting paise into rupees, divide it by \(100.\)
2. We should always use two digits to express paise.
Example: \(5\) paise can be written as \(0.05\) paise, and \(90\) paise can be written as \(0.90\) paise.
Below are a few practice problems that can help in getting a better idea.
Q.1. Convert \(125\) paise into rupees
Ans: Here, we need to convert \(125\) paise into rupees.
We know that
\(100\) paise \(=1\) rupee
So, \(1\) paise \( = \frac{1}{{100}}\) rupees
Now,
\(125\) paise \(=125×1\) paise
\( = 125 \times \frac{1}{{100}}\) rupees
\(=1.25\) rupees
\(=1\) rupee \(25 \) paise
Hence, \(125\) paise is \(1.25\) rupees or \(1\) rupee \(25\) paise.
Q.2. Convert \(87\) paise into rupees.
Ans: Here, we need to convert \(87\) paise into rupees.
We know that
\(100\) paise \(=1\) rupee
So, \(1\) paise \( = \frac{1}{{100}}\) rupees
Now,
\(87\) paise \(=87×1\) paise
\( = 87 \times \frac{1}{{100}}\) rupees
\(=0.87\) rupees
Hence, \(87\) paise is \(0.87\) rupees.
Below are a few solved examples that can help in getting a better idea.
Q.1. Convert \(455\) paise into rupees.
Ans: Here, we need to convert \(455\) paise into rupees.
We know that to convert paise into rupees put decimal point before two digits from the right. (Trick)
Now, \(455\) paise \(=4.55\) rupees (after moving decimal point before two digits from the right)
Hence, \(455\) paise is \(4.55\) rupees or \(4\) rupees \(55\) paise or \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.455}}\) or \(₹\; 4.55.\)
Q.2. Convert \(25\) paise into rupees.
Ans: Here, we need to convert \(25\) paise into rupees.
We know that
\(100\) paise \(=1\) rupee
So, \(1\) paise \( = \frac{1}{{100}}\) rupees
Now,
\(25\) paise \(=25×1\) paise
\( = 25 \times \frac{1}{{100}}\) rupees
\(=0.25\) rupees
Hence, \(25\) paise is \(0.25\) rupees.
Q.3. Convert \(8\) rupees into paise.
Ans: Here, we need to convert \(8\) rupees into paise.
To convert rupees into paise, multiply the rupees by \(100.\)
We know that \(1\) rupee \(=100\) paise
Now, \(8\) rupees \(=8×100\) paise \(=800\) paise.
Hence, \(8\) rupees is \(800\) paise.
Q.4. Convert \(11.06\) rupees into paise.
Ans: Here, we need to convert \(11.06\) into paise.
We know that to convert rupees into paise, shift the decimal point to two places to the right. (Trick)
Thus, \(11.06\) rupees\(=1105\) paise
Hence, \(11.06\) rupees is \(1106\) paise.
Q.5. Convert \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.}}\,{\rm{12}}{\rm{.00}}\) into paise.
Ans: Here, we need to convert \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.}}\,{\rm{12}}{\rm{.00}}\) into paise.
We know that to convert rupees into paise, shift the decimal point to two places to the right. (trick)
Thus, \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.}}\,{\rm{12}}{\rm{.00 = 1200}}\) paise
Hence, \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.}}\,{\rm{12}}{\rm{.00}}\) is \(1200\) paise.
In this article, we learnt about the concept of money, the currency of India, different representations of coins and notes, and how to convert money into various forms like:
We hope it will help you to clear all your doubts.
Q.1. How do you write \(50\) paise in rupees?
Ans: We know that \(100\) paise \(=1\) rupee
\(1\) paisa \( = \frac{1}{{100}}\) rupees
Now, \(50\) paise \( = \frac{{50}}{{100}}\) rupees \(=0.50\) rupees
Hence, \(50\) paise is \(0.50\) rupees.
Q.2. Explain converting paise into rupees with an example?
Ans: We know that, \(1\) rupee \(=100\) paise
To convert paise into rupees, divide paise by \(100.\)
(Shortcut: To convert paise into rupees put decimal points before two digits from the right)
Example: Convert \(600\) paise into rupees.
The given paise \(=600\) paise
Now, to convert paise into rupees, put decimal points after two digits from the right.
That is, \(600\) paise \(=6.00\) rupees or \({\rm{ = Rs}}{\rm{.}}\,6\) or \(₹\; 6.00.\)
Hence, how to convert paise into rupees explained above with an example.
Q.3. How many coins of \(50\) paise will be there in \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.}}\,5\)?
Ans: Here, we need to find the number of \(50\) paise coins in \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.}}\,5\).
We know that \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.}}\,1{\rm{ = 100}}\,\) paise
Now, \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.}}\,5{\rm{ = 500}}\) paise
The number of \(50\) paise coins \( = \frac{{500}}{{50}} = 10\)
Hence, \(10\) coins of \(50\) paise will be there in \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.}}\,5.\)
Q.4. What is the ratio of \(50\) paise to \(5\) rupees?
Ans: Here, we need to find the ratio of \(50\) paise to \(5\) rupees.
The ratio is always taken between quantities having the same units and it has no unit.
As the two quantities are not in the same units, one in paise and another in rupees, we need to convert them into one unit first.
We know that \(1\) rupee \(=100\) paise
So, \(5\) rupees \(=5×100\) paise \(=500\) paise
Now, the ratio \( = \frac{{50}}{{500}} = \frac{1}{{10}} = 1:10\)
Hence, the ratio of \(50\) paise to \(5\) rupees is \(1:10.\)
Q.5. How many \(5\) paise are there in a rupee?
Ans: Here, we need to find the number of \(5\) paise coins in \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.}}\,1.\)
We know that \({\rm{Rs}}{\rm{.}}\,1{\rm{ = 100}}\) paise
Now, the number of \(5\) paise coins \( = \frac{{100}}{5} = 20\)
Hence, there are \(20\) coins of \(5\) paise in a rupee.
