 4. Suppose we have to write

a sum of money involving

both rupees and paisa. So

to express an amount

consisting of both rupees

and paisa, we use a small

point which is called a

decimal point. The
numeral indicating rupees

is written before this point

and the numeral indicating

paisa is written after the

point. We write Rs. before

the number of numerals.
