Question 1: Convert £150 to other currencies
We multiply £150 by the exchange rate for each currency.
a) Europe (Euros)
£1 = 1.24 Euros
So, £150 = 150 × 1.24 =
186 Euros
b) America (US Dollars)
£1 = 1.68 USD
So, £150 = 150 × 1.68 =
252 USD
c) Australia (Australian Dollars)
£1 = 1.79 AUD
So, £150 = 150 × 1.79 =
268.50 AUD
d) Switzerland (Swiss Francs)
£1 = 1.51 CHF
So, £150 = 150 × 1.51 =
226.50 CHF
e) New Zealand (New Zealand Dollars)
£1 = 1.97 NZD
So, £150 = 150 × 1.97 =
295.50 NZD

Question 2: Convert foreign currencies back to Pounds
Now we
divide by the exchange rate (since we're going from foreign currency to GBP).
a) £340 US dollars → How many pounds?
Wait — this says "£340 US dollars" — that’s likely a typo. It should be
$340 US dollars, not £340.
So:
$340 = ? GBP
Since £1 = $1.68 → So $1 = £1 / 1.68 ≈ 0.5952 GBP
So, $340 = 340 ÷ 1.68 =
202.38 GBP (approx)
b) 400 Canadian dollars → How many pounds?
£1 = 1.83 CAD → So 1 CAD = 1 / 1.83 ≈ 0.5464 GBP
So, 400 CAD = 400 ÷ 1.83 ≈
218.58 GBP
c) 2000 Indian Rupees → How many pounds?
£1 = 99.45 INR → So 1 INR = 1 / 99.45 ≈ 0.010055 GBP
So, 2000 INR = 2000 ÷ 99.45 ≈
20.11 GBP
d) 480 Chinese Yuan → How many pounds?
£1 = 10.44 CNY → So 1 CNY = 1 / 10.44 ≈ 0.09578 GBP
So, 480 CNY = 480 ÷ 10.44 ≈
45.97 GBP
e) 600 Euros → How many pounds?
£1 = 1.24 EUR → So 1 EUR = 1 / 1.24 ≈ 0.8065 GBP
So, 600 EUR = 600 ÷ 1.24 ≈
483.87 GBP
