In the short-cut method, we write the amount of money using a dot (.)

first. Then remove the dot and symbol ` and add the symbol p at the end.

For example, 6 rupees 15 paise = `6.15 = 615 p

12 rupees 8 paise = `12.08 = 1208 p

When we write the amount of rupees and paise together, we always write

paise in two digits.

Converting Paise into Rupees

We know that a dot separates the amount of rupees and paise when they
are written together. Hence, we follow these steps to convert paise into

rupees.

Step 1: Count 2 digits from right and put a dot (.).

Step 2: Remove the symbol of paise and add the symbol of rupees.

Example 3: Convert the following into rupees.

(a) 6000 paise (b) 2640 paise (c) 905 paise

Solution: (a) 6000 paise = 6000 p = `60.00

(b) 2640 paise = 2640 p = `26.40

(c) 905 paise = 905 p = `9.05

EXERCISE 2.1

A. Write the following in words and figures.
1. `7.15 = 6. = Eight rupees ten paise
