Question

Fill in the blanks:
2050 paisa = ……….. rupees …… paise = Rs ……

Answer 1

Hint:
Here we have to convert the given 2050 paisa into rupees. We know that the value of one rupee is equal to 100 paisa. So to convert 2050 paisa into rupees, we will divide 2050 paisa by 100, so that the resultant answer will be in rupees.

Complete step by step solution:
We know that the value of one rupee is equal to 100 paisa.
Here we are asked to convert 2050 paisa into rupees. For that, we will divide 2050 by 100 and the quotient which we will get will be in rupees and the remainder left will be in paisa.
So to convert 2050 paisa into rupees and paise, we will first divide the value of paisa i.e. 2050 by 100.
Now, we will divide 2050 by 100.
$100\overset{20}{\overline{\left){\begin{align}
  & \underline{\begin{align}
  & 2050 \\
 & -2000 \\
\end{align}} \\
 & 50 \\
\end{align}}\right.}}$
So the quotient is 20 and the remainder is 50.
We can write 2050 paisa as 20 rupees 50 paisa. But we need to convert it completely into rupees. So we will again divide 50 by 100 and we will add it to 20.
Therefore,
$2050paisa=Rs20+Rs\dfrac{50}{100}=Rs20.5$

Hence, $2050\text{ }paisa=20\text{ }rupees\text{ }50\text{ }paise=Rs\text{ }20.5$.

Note:
If we have to convert the given paisa into rupees and paise, then we will simply divide the given paisa by 100, quotient which we will get will be in rupees and the remainder left will be in paisa. But if we need to convert the given paisa into rupees only then we will again divide the remainder by 100 and we will add it to the quotient to get the answer in rupees.
