Vacation!

The Brown family are going to visit many different countries on their vacation.

From their home in New York they travel to Toronto (Canada), London (England), Rome (Italy), New Delhi (India), Tokyo (Japan) and Sydney (Australia), before returning home across the Pacific.

The route is shown on the following map:

Because currencies change all the time, the amount of money Mr. Brown receives in each local currency will change from day to day. But the following table (old data) will give you an idea of how currencies are converted:

CurrencyCodeUSD/1 unitUnits/ 1 USD
Australian DollarAUD0.96121.0405
Canadian DollarCAD0.97881.0219
EuroEUR1.30650.7655
British PoundGBP1.55530.6431
Indian RupeeINR0.0217446.1225
Japanese YenJPY0.01191683.9337

You will notice that there are two sets of figures for each country – the USD/ 1 unit and the Units/ 1 USD. This is because you get one rate for changing from $US to the foreign currency and a different rate for changing back from the foreign currency to the $US. This is how the banks make their money.

Note The banks also make a commission on every transaction, so they make even more money out of us! But to keep things simple we will ignore that.

So which figure should you use?

The USD/ 1 unit figure tells us how to convert one unit of the foreign currency to the US currency. The Units/ 1 USD figure tells us how to convert one unit of the US currency to the foreign currency.
