Question

What is the value of one-fifth of $Rs.100$ ?

Answer 1

Hint: Multiply the amount by $\dfrac{1}{5}$ to get the required value.

The given amount in the question is $Rs.100$.
We have to find the value of one-fifth of this amount. So, we will multiply the amount by $\dfrac{1}{5}$.
We’ll get the value $ = \dfrac{1}{5} \times Rs.100 = Rs.20$.
Therefore the required value is $Rs.20$.

Note:
We know that, $Rs.1 = 100$paise.
So in case if we have to calculate its value in paise, it will be:
$ = 20 \times 100 = 2000$paise.
