Question

Express the following as rupees using decimals Two thousand five hundred rupee five paise.

Answer 1

Hint – In this question use the concept that the leftmost digit before the decimal point is the units place, then two digits after left most from the decimal point comprises hundredth digit, after it we have thousand, ten thousand and then lakh and ten lakh after this we came across to crore and ten crore. 1 rupees is formulated by 100 paise so use unitary method to find the corresponding rupee value for the paise asked. Use this concept to get the answer.

Complete step-by-step solution -
As we know one thousand = 1000
So two thousand = 2000
Now as we know five hundred = 500
So two thousand five hundred = 2500
So two thousand five hundred rupee is written as Rs. 2500.00
Now as we know 100 paise = 1 rupee.
So 1 paise = $\dfrac{1}{{100}}$ rupee.
So five (5) paise = $\dfrac{5}{{100}}$ = 0.05 rupee.
So two thousand five hundred rupee five paise is written as Rs. 2500.05
So this is the required answer.

Note – We often come across problems relating to this same concept, sometimes the numerical number is given and the English representation is asked that is exactly the converse of what is given in this problem, in those problems too this same concept is valid.
