Money is useful for purchasing things like chocolates, pencils, vegetables, etc. In India we have currency in rupees and paisa.

Here are some coins and notes we use in India:

Conversion of Money: Here we will learn the ways to convert rupees into paisa and vice versa.

Example 1: Convert 5.09 rupees into paisa

Solution: We know that 1 rupee = 100 paisa

               Therefore, 5.09 rupee = 5.09×100 = 509 paisa

Example 2: Convert 78 paisa into rupees

Solution: We know that 1 paisa = 1/100 rupees

               Therefore, 78 paisa = 78/100 = 0.78 rupee

Try These:

• Convert the following amounts into paisa:

8. 8.10
9. 0.95

• 12.24

• Convert the following amounts into rupees:

1. 775 paisa
2. 38 paisa

• 3099 paisa

Some Important Terms and Formulae

• Cost Price: The price at which an article is purchased, is called its cost price. It is denoted by CP.

• Selling Price: The price at which any article is sold, is called its selling price. It is denoted by SP

• Profit: When the SP is more than CP, profit exists. It is defined as the difference between SP and CP.

• Loss: When the CP is more than SP, then the article is sold at a loss. It is the difference between CP and SP.

Example: Radhika bought a TV for Rs 23,500 and sold at a loss of Rs 4,780. Find the selling price.

Solution:  CP = Rs 23,500

                Loss = Rs 4,780

                SP = CP – Loss = Rs (23,500 – 4,780) = Rs 18,720

Recap

• 1 rupee = 100 paisa
• Profit = Selling price – Cost Price
• Loss = Cost Price – Selling Price
• Profit % = [(Profit / CP)×100] %
• Loss % = [(Loss / CP)×100] %
