9.4 Different currencies and converting currencies
Activity 9.5
• Study these currencies. They are from different countries. Namethese currencies.
Tip:
Different currencies have different values in relation to our currency (Frw).Let us now look at the following activity.
Activity 9.6
Study the table below. It was displayed in a Forex shop in Kigali on14/02/2016 at 10.00 a.m.
(i) Kamanutsi had 300 USD. How many Frw are these?

(iii) Nzikobankunda had 600 UGX. How many Frw are these? Explain
your steps.
(iv) Which one was the strongest currency as compared to the Frw?Justify your answer.
Tip:
You can convert Frw to any other currency. Always be sure to use currentexchange rates.
Example 9.5
Convert 10 000 Frw into
(i) US dollars (USD)
(ii) Euros (EUR)
(iii) Kenya shillings (KSh)(iv) Uganda shillings (UGX)
Exchange rates as on 10/1/2016 at 3 p.m
Solution
(i) 740 Frw = 1 USD
Thus, 10 000 Frw = (10 000 ÷ 740) USD = 13.51 USD
Practically, this would be given as 13 USD and you would lose 0.51
USD. But you can give an extra 370 Frw and get 14 USD.
(ii) 836 Frw = 1 EUR
Thus, 10 000 Frw = (10 000 ÷ 836) EUR = 11.96 EUR.
(iii) 7.25 Frw = KSh 1
Thus, 10 000 Frw = KSh (10 000 ÷ 7.25) = KSh 1 379.31
Practically, this is converted as KSh 1 379.30 or more easily as
KSh 1 379.
(iv) 1 Frw = 4.60 UGXThus, 10 000 Frw = 10 000 × 4.60 UGX = 46 000 UGX
Practice Activity 9.6
