Hello everybody

I would like to know which one is correct.

1- Compared to my time spent, 100 Rs is nothing.
2- Compared to my time spent, 100 Rs are nothing.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tom

Are Rs currency? (India?)

If so, I would say "Compared to my time spent, 100 Rs is nothing."
(The singular is because you look at it as one sum of money or one payment)
