To convert the US dollars to Jamaican dollars, multiply the US dollars by the exchange rate: 40 dollars * 154.8 Jamaican dollars/dollar = <<40*154.8=6192>>6192 Jamaican dollars.
Then divide the total amount of Jamaican dollars you have by the cost of each souvenir: 6192 Jamaican dollars / 450 Jamaican dollars/souvenir = <<6192/450=13.76>>13.76 souvenirs.
Since you can't buy a fraction of a souvenir, you can only buy 13 souvenirs. Answer: 13.
