Introduction

Savita and Shama were going to market to buy some stationary items. Savita said, “I have ₹ 5 and 75 paise”. Shama said, “I have ₹ 7 and 50 paise".

They knew how to write rupees and paise using decimals. So Savita said, " I have ₹ 5.75" and Shama said, “I have ₹ 7.50 ”.

Have they written correctly? We know that the dot represents a decimal point. In this chapter, we will learn more about working with decimals.
