Counting Coins & Notes
Today's big idea
Count the notes first, then the coins, and add the two parts.
Two ₹20 notes and a ₹5 coin make ₹45.
How it works
👀 What's going on?
Indian money comes in coins and notes. Add them to find the total.
💡 Here's the trick
Count the notes first, then the coins, and add the two parts. Coins are ₹1, ₹2, ₹5 and ₹10; notes are ₹10, ₹20, ₹50 and ₹100.
Two ₹20 notes and one ₹5 coin: 40 + 5 = ₹45.
✍️ Try it
One ₹50 note and two ₹10 coins. How much altogether? → ₹70.
⚠️ Watch out
Add the bigger money first, so you do not lose track.
