4 Why would you convert currency? Lesson 7 Exchange Rates and Conversion graphs. Mathswatch 64

5 What is an exchange rate? Lesson 7 Exchange Rates and Conversion graphs. Mathswatch 64

6 I know £1 = ฿ 43.56 (Thai Baht) what would I do to find how much £100 is? So to convert between £ and ฿ you need to x 43.56 X 43.56 £1 = ฿ 43.56 Convert the following amounts to Thai Baht. a) £10 b) £50c) £135 £100 x 43.56 Baht = 4356 Baht 435.60 Baht2178 Baht 5880.60 Baht Lesson 7 Exchange Rates and Conversion graphs. Mathswatch 64 X 43.56

7 I know £1 = ฿ 43.56 (Thai Baht) how would I work out how many pounds, 1000 Baht is? So to convert between £ and ฿ you need to ÷ 43.56 ÷ 43.56 £1 = ฿ 43.56 Convert the following amounts to British Pounds (GBP). a) 200 Bahtb) 1400 Bahtc) 70 Baht 1000 Baht ÷ 43.56 = £22.95684114 = £22.96 £4.59£32.14 £1.61 Lesson 7 Exchange Rates and Conversion graphs.

8 New York, USA£1 = $1.51 I now take my family to New York. I convert £350 to US Dollars. a)Calculate how many US dollars I have? b)I spend $276 on my visit to New York and return to England. I convert my remaining money to Pounds. Calculate the remaining to GPB (£)? 350 x 1.51 = $528.50 $528.50 - $276 = 252.50252.50 ÷ 1.51 = £167.22

9 Sydney, Australia£1 = $1.45 I now take my family to Sydney. I convert £1200 to Australian Dollars. a)Convert £1200 to Aussie Dollars? b)I spend $1476 Dollars whilst in Sydney. I convert the remaining currency back to Pounds. How many pounds and pence do I have? 1200 x 1.45 = $1740 $1740 - $1476 = $ 264 $264 ÷ 1.45 = £182.07

10 In the UK, petrol cost £1.24 per litre. In the USA, petrol cost 3.15 dollars per US gallon. 1 US Gallon = 3.79 Litres £1 = $1.51 UK or USA? Show why?

11 In the UK petrol is £1.24 per litre. 1.24 x 1.51 = $1.87 per litre (convert to US dollars) In the US Petrol is $3.15 per gallon 3.15 ÷ 3.79 = $0.83 per litre So we see that petrol is cheaper in the US Lesson 7 Exchange Rates and Conversion graphs. Mathswatch 64
