Exchange Rates
Exchange rate - the value of a country’s currency in terms of another country’s
currency.

Example: the exchange rate of 1.00 Canadian Dollar to 4.31 Brazilian Real means that if
you exchanged $100 Canadian Dollars for Brazilian Real, you would get back $431
Brazilian Real!

Why do you think the Brazilian Real is worth less

Example - Converting Foreign
Currencies
Your family made it to Hong Kong! You all take the MTR (subway)
from the airport to the hotel. It costs $110 HKD (Hong Kong Dollars).
The exchange rate is currently 1 CAD = 6.40 HKD. Convert $110

be less than $110.

Your family made it to Hong Kong! You all take the MTR (subway)

the hotel to CAD, it would be
$17.19
Round to $17.19
WHY did we divide the
cost by the exchange
rate? Let’s look at this
question in terms of a
ratio. . .

this as a ratio: ✕ 17.1875 by 17.1875, I
do the same to

= the numerator

How did we ✕ 17.1875
get from 6.40

multiplied by $17.19

memewahkan rezeki bagi sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya di
antara hamba-hambaNya, dan Ia juga yang menyempitkan
baginya; dan apa sahaja yang kamu dermakan maka Allah
akan menggantikannya; dan Dia lah jua sebaik-baik Pemberi
rezeki".
