Money is exchanged for goods and services. The Indian currency, the Rupee ($\text{₹}$), is organized into notes and coins, and understanding the $100 \text{ Paise}$ to $1 \text{ Rupee}$ conversion is essential for all transactions.
Indian Currency and Value
The relationship between the primary units is the foundation of money math:
| Unit | Symbol | Value | Used For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paise | — | $1/100$ of a Rupee | Very small transactions (though rarely seen today). |
| Rupee | $\text{₹}$ | 100 Paise | Everyday transactions (notes and coins). |
Mastering this conversion allows you to accurately count and calculate change:
$$1 \text{ Rupee} = 100 \text{ Paise}$$Adding and subtracting money works just like regular numbers, but you must keep the Rupees and Paise separated (or convert everything to Paise first) to avoid errors when regrouping (borrowing/carrying).
Example: If you buy a toy for $\text{₹} 50$ and candy for $\text{₹} 10$, you spend $\text{₹} 50 + \text{₹} 10 = \text{₹} 60$ **(Addition)**.
If you pay $\text{₹} 100$, your change is $\text{₹} 100 - \text{₹} 60 = \text{₹} 40$ **(Subtraction)**.
