We need money to buy things. Money can be in form of a note or a coin. In India, currency is used in the form of rupees and paise.
Rupees and Paise
1 rupee (₹1) = 100 paise (100 p).
Symbol: ₹ for rupees, p for paise.
Notes are made of special paper (and sometimes plastic) and are flat and rectangular.
Each note shows a number that tells us its value, for example:
₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100, ₹200, ₹500
Notes are light and easy to carry in a wallet or purse.
They usually have pictures of Indian leaders, animals, or symbols printed on them.
Coins are round pieces made of metal.
They feel heavy and make a clinking sound when you drop them!
Common coin values in India:
50 p (paise), ₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10
Coins are good for small amounts because they don’t tear like paper.
We write rupees as ‘₹’ and paise as ‘p’.
We use a point or dot(.) to separate rupees and paise.
For example:
Sonu purchased a toy car in 125 rupees and 75 paise. How can we express this money?
We can express it as ₹125.75.
We can write 10 rupees as ₹10.00 as it has no paise.
Example 1: A book costs ₹ 130 and a pencil box costs ₹ 90. Mona gives ₹ 250 to a shopkeeper to buy these two things. How much money does she get back?
Cost of the book = ₹ 130
Cost of the pencil box = ₹ 90
Total cost of the two items = ₹ 130 +₹ 90 = ₹ 220
Money given to the shopkeeper = ₹ 250
Total amount spent = ₹ 220
So, money returned = ₹ 250 – ₹ 220 = ₹ 30
Mona gets back ₹ 30.
Example 2: Monty bought a packet of crayons for ₹ 25 and an ice-cream for ₹ 12. How much money did he spend?
To find out how much money Monty spent in total, we need to add the prices of both items:
- ₹ 25 (for crayons)
- ₹ 12 (for ice-cream)
Now, let's add:
- 25 + 12 = 37
So, Monty spent ₹ 37 in total.
