Question

A) You observe the following exchange rates in the market.

i) $1 = 0.85 euros and 1 krona = $ 0.13. Find the cross-exchange rate between euro and krona, that is, how many euros do you receive for every krona exchanged?
ii) 1 British pound (BP) = $1.12 and 1 euro = $1.04. Find the cross-exchange rate between BP and euro, that is, how many euros do you receive for every BP exchanged?

Answer 1

Answer: i. €0.11

ii. €1.08

Step-by-step explanation:

i. If we get 1 krona for every $0.13 then how many krona do we get per dollar?

= 1/0.13

= 7.69 Krona is to $1

If $1 is 7.69 Krona and $1 is also €0.85 then that means that,

€ 0.85 = 7.69 Krona

So for each Krona exchanged, we get how many Euro,

= 0.85/7.69

= 0.11

For each Krona exchanged, we get €0.11

ii. Following the example of the first question,

if £1 is to $1.12 then how many pounds are a dollar?

= 1/1.12

= 0.89

£0.89 is equal to a dollar.

if €1 is to $1.04 then how many euros are a dollar?

= 1/1.04

= 0.96

€0.96 are equal to a dollar.

This means that,

£0.89 = €0.96

So for every British Pound exchanged we get how many Euros?

= 0.96/0.89

= 1.078

= €1.08

For every British pound Exchanged, we get €1.08
