Question

Fill in the blanks below using appropriate values :
2050 paisa = _ _ _ _ rupees _ _ _ _ paise = Rs. _ _ _ _.

Answer 1

Hint: As we know that 100 paise = 1 Rupee. So, we have to only divide the given amount of paise with 100 to change the given paise to rupees.

Complete step-by-step answer:
As we know that 100 paise makes up 1 Rupee.
So, now we are given with 2050 paisa and asked to change into rupees and paise.
So, for that we had to divide the given paisa by100. And the quotient we get will be the rupees and the remainder left will be the paisa.
So, let us divide 2050 by 100.

Quotient is 20 and remainder is 50.
Now we had to change the complete paise to rupees so, total amount in rupees will be Rs. 20 + Rs. \[\dfrac{{50}}{{100}}\] = Rs. 20 + Rs. 0.5 = Rs. 20.5
Hence, 2050 paisa = 20 rupees 50 paise = Rs. 20.5.

Note: Whenever we come up this type of problem then if we had to change the given paisa into rupees and paise then we divide the paisa by 100 and the quotient will be rupees and remainder will be paisa but if we had to convert the given paisa into only rupees then we also divide remainder by 100 and add that to quotient to get the required to money in rupees.
