The three big ideas

We count money in rupees (₹) and small money in paise.
100 paise = 1 rupee.
We pay with a mix of notes and coins to make the exact amount.

Worked example. How can you make ₹35 using notes and coins?

One ₹20 note, one ₹10 note and one ₹5 coin make ₹35 (other mixes work too).

A bill adds up the price of every item to find the total to pay.
Add the rupees just like ordinary numbers, keeping the ₹ sign.
Buying more than one of an item? Multiply first, then add.

Worked example. A toy car costs ₹40 and a model train costs ₹55. What is the total bill?

₹40 + ₹55 = ₹95 to pay.

Change is the money returned when you pay more than the price.
To find change, take away the price from the money you gave.
Always check the change is correct before leaving the counter.

Worked example. A museum ticket costs ₹30. You pay with a ₹50 note. How much change?

₹50 − ₹30 = ₹20 change.

Common mix-up: To find change, subtract the COST from the MONEY GIVEN — not the other way round. Paying ₹50 for a ₹30 ticket gives ₹20 back, not ₹30.
