1. An exchange rate is the value of one country's currency in relation to another country's currency. It tells you how much one currency is worth when converted to another. 2. A currency is a system of money (notes and coins) in general use in a particular country. 3. A strong currency means that the currency has high values. 4. A weak currency means that the currency has low values. 5. Calculate the following exchange rates: a) Step 1: Identify the given exchange rate and the amount to convert. Given: $\pounds 1 = \text{R}15.10$ Amount in Rands: $\text{R}35\,000$ Step 2: Divide the amount in Rands by the exchange rate to find the equivalent amount in Pounds. $$ \text{Pounds} = \frac{\text{R}35\,000}{\text{R}15.10/\pounds} $$ $$ \text{Pounds} = 2317.880794695... $$ $$ \text{Pounds} \approx 2317.88 $$ The number of pounds in $\text{R}35\,000$ is $\boxed{\text{}\pounds 2317.88\text{}}$ c) Step 1: Identify the given exchange rate and the amount to convert. Given: $\$ 1 = \text{R}12.00$ Amount in Rands: $\text{R}26\,500$ Step 2: Divide the amount in Rands by the exchange rate to find the equivalent amount in Dollars. $$ \text{Dollars} = \frac{\text{R}26\,500}{\text{R}12.00/\$} $$ $$ \text{Dollars} = 2208.33333... $$ $$ \text{Dollars} \approx 2208.33 $$ The number of dollars in $\text{R}26\,500$ is $\boxed{\text{}\$ 2208.33\text{}}$ b) Step 1: Identify the cost of the camera in Pounds and the exchange rate. Camera cost: $\pounds 234$ Exchange rate: $\pounds 1 = \text{R}15.90$ Step 2: Multiply the cost in Pounds by the exchange rate to find the equivalent cost in Rands. $$ \text{Cost in Rands} = \pounds 234 \times \text{R}15.90/\pounds $$ $$ \text{Cost in Rands} = \text{R}3714.60 $$ The camera would cost $\boxed{\text{}\text{R}3714.60\text{}}$ in Rands.
