Find the amount of the following foreign currencies (to 2 decimal places) that can be bought with 250 Singapore dollars. The sterling pound

There is a chart and the pound sells at 2,552,0 for 1 Singapore dollar. The pound is bought at 2,578.0.

I did 2,552.0 times 250 and got 638,200. The answer is 96 pounds and some cents, but I have no idea how to come up with that answer.

I don't know where your chart got its figures, but this site shows that 1 Singapore dollars is worth about 0.44 British pounds. However, your answer is close, especially considering the fluctuation rates of currencies.

By multiplying 250 * 0.44 I got 250 Singapore dollars is worth 110 pounds.

To find the amount of pounds that can be bought with 250 Singapore dollars, you need to consider the exchange rates provided.

First, you need to determine the buying rate for the pound, which is 2,578.0. This means that for every pound, you will need to spend 2,578.0 Singapore dollars.

Next, you can calculate how many pounds you can buy with 250 Singapore dollars by dividing 250 by the buying rate:

250 / 2,578.0 = 0.097 pounds (rounded to 3 decimal places)

However, you mentioned that the answer is 96 pounds. This is because you made a small mistake in your calculation. You multiplied 2,552.0 by 250 instead of dividing it.

To find the amount of pounds, you should divide 250 by the selling rate instead of multiplying:

250 / 2,552.0 = 0.098 pounds (rounded to 3 decimal places)

Since you want the answer to 2 decimal places, you should round it to 0.10 pounds.

So, with 250 Singapore dollars, you can buy approximately 0.10 (or 0.098) pounds, which rounds up to 96 pounds.
