You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You're mixing dollars and rupees. Most of us are from the US.
We have dollars not rupees. We don't know the exchange rate between
rupees and dollars. Maybe you have dollars in your country, too.
But our dollars and your dollars are different. We would have to know
how many of your rupees are in your dollars or vice-versa.
