Natka frowned as she began typing in the numbers into her calculator - numbers had never been her best friends.

Nevertheless, she ended up with an answer.

"20 Galleons, 13 Sickles and 17 Knuts, Professor Dumont," she replied.

Hollister 01-28-2009 07:01 PM

"20 galleons, 13 sickles and 17 knuts, sir." Miles said.

Theo had no idea what a dollar was, let alone what it was in Wizarding money.

Kait raised her hand again and answered the newest question, "$100 US dollars is the eqivillant of 20 galleons, 13 sickles and 17 knuts."

But, the value of the dollar in different countries is different, and that's what we are going to learn about next.

Before we do that, though, I would like to have you all work on converting wizarding money into the United States dollar. To start, I want to see if you can figure out $100.00 in United States money is equal to in wizarding world money. Everyone, go ahead and use your calculators to perform this exercise, please. We'll be using this calculator a bit more then move on to the other calculator, then the second part of the lesson."

Cadence raised her hand. 20 galleons, 13 sickles, and 17 knuts, Professor.

Raising her hand eagerly after doing her calculations,Sarah said... "That would be 20 Galleons,13 Sickles and 17 Knuts,Sir."

LizzieEvans 01-28-2009 07:10 PM

Lizzie raised her hand. That's 20 Galleons,13 Sickles and 17 Knuts, Sir

They were attracting attention. It wasn't his fault Blast It! Couldn't they see Aggie was picking on him! Though the idea of the diminutive witch victimizing him at his gargantuan stature was laughable, he wasn't finding it funny.

Tobi did the math, math was one of his better talents, "20 galleons, 13 sickles and 17 knuts, Professor," he raised his hand and called desperately, before rounding on the kid from his house who had tried to tell them off.

"Tell her -" he whispered shaking his head at Aggie "to knock it off if you're so worried. But I assure you, I can handle this just fine without your help which will probably only get us into more trouble, so thank you for your concern, I've got this under controll."

He turned back and faced the front of the class, sitting up very straight. "Are you happy now?" He muttered out of the corner of his mouth. "Can you cease and decist?"

Becky 01-28-2009 07:13 PM

Jack sat at the desk, he took his feet off the desk and rested his head on one hand while jabbing the calculator with a quill *sigh* Bored, he was so bored, he started to prise the calculator open, what was this? Circuitry? Jack had heard of it, he poked the funny looking wires with the end of his quill, he couldn't do maths, EVER.

Melanie worked at the cauculater. Wrong button...She glared at the inanimate object.
"Stupid machine.." she muttered under her breath. After she finnaly got it Melanie raised her hand, eagerly. "I think it's 20 gallions, 13 pickles- wait no sickles, and er 17 knuts... " she said.
Melanie smiled back at Ana. Her and Cadence both got the answer before her, but she didn't mind much. Lanie had never been one for math. Or numbers....

noneworld 01-28-2009 07:13 PM

Damian calculated in his head and said then "20 galleons, 13 sickles and 17 knuts. I think"

Tommehbell 01-28-2009 07:14 PM

Paris raised her hand "It equals out to 100 US Dollars to 20 galleons, 13 sickles and 17 knuts, sir" She said.

Daemon 01-28-2009 07:16 PM

Rachel nodded and quickly keyed in the sum Professor Dumont requestion. Raising her hand, she said, "20 galleons, 13 sickles and 17 knuts, sir." She knew she was merely repeating what everyone had said already, but every point was worth it.

Slytherin Fox 01-28-2009 07:20 PM

"Excuse me, is there a problem?", Antonio asked, noticing that a few Gryffindors seemed to be bantering back and forth. "Something I should know?" He looked around the room.

"20 galleons, 13 sickles and 17 knuts is the correct answer. That is what you would need in wizarding money to get $100 in American money."

"Now, I think we are done with that calculator for right now, there will be more exercises on the homework. Since we have to move on, I would like you to take the other calculator Currency Converter - Yahoo! Finance (this one) and do the following conversions for me. Again, we are going to use $100 in U.S. money. I would like you to figure out the values in the English pound, the Euro-dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar and the Japanese yen. I will give points to all students who do the work correctly."

"Actually,Sir, I was trying to get those two to HUSH and not lose Gryffindor anymore points when we aren't supposed to be talking during class." said Nathaniel with a frown while looking at the other students.

noneworld 01-28-2009 07:24 PM

Damian took his notbook and wrote is answers in it "There are 69.81 english pounds, 75.49 Euro dollar, 120.97 Candian dollar, 149.16 australian dollar and 8971.5 japanese Yen." said he.

Cela made the calculations, wrote them down and raised her hand, "The pound is 69.80, The Euro is 75.43, the Canadian dollar is 120.97, the Australian dollar is, 149.03 and the Japanese Yen is 8976.5." Wooo complicated.

Aomidori 01-28-2009 07:25 PM

"69.76 English pounds, 75.40 euro-dollars, 120.97 Canadian dollars, 149.06 Australian dollars, and 8982.00 Japanese yen. But Professor, the exchange rates are constantly changing. Everyone would get different answers by the decimal." Matilda said promptly. Not knowing the answer by the thousandth was starting to bug her.

Cadence raised her hand again. The calculations are as follows, Professor: In Pounds 69.74 In Euros 75.39 In Canadian-dollars 120.97 In Australian dollars 148.99 and in Yen 8985.5.

Meh Reh 01-28-2009 07:26 PM

Karma scribbled furiously on her paper each time she calculated what was correct. Or what, she thought was correct.

"For $100 in US money, in the English pound it would be 69.74 pounds. The Euro-dollar would be 75.45. In Canadian dollars it would be $121.03. Austrailian dollar amounts would be 148.81, and finally, the yen would be 8999."

That was a long answer.

SilverTiger 01-28-2009 07:26 PM

Elizabeth started doing a flurry of calculations after the professor gave the assignment. "$100 US is equivalent to 75.49 in Euro-dollars, 69.82 pounds, 120.95 in Canadian dollars, 149.30 in Australian dollars, and 8986.50 in yen." Her eyes widened a bit at the last calculation, since that was a big difference.

"Nope!" Aggie chirped up, happy to make air of the problems around her and let them drop just as quickly as they popped up. She was quite oblivious to most things, especially when she choose to. In this case, she was happy to ignore Tobi's chastising. But then the Fink boy who assumed he was a house prefect had to say something.

That's it, you're dead after class. She thought to herself as she looked over the handout and started calculating the answers. She'd think of some way to pay Fink-boy back later. Right now she had work to do.

"69.74 pounds, $120.97 Canadian, 75.38 Euros, $149.09 Australian, and 8983 Yen."

Danny Boy 01-28-2009 07:27 PM

Barry nodded and started he said "The answers is that it equals 63.73 british pounds. It also equals 75.45 euro-dollars. It equals 149.24 austrailian dollars and it equals 8982 yen"

fish_kid 01-28-2009 07:27 PM

"For Canadian dollar it's 120.94, for the pound it's 69.82,for Australian it's 149.3 and the yen is 8982.5" said Nathaniel smiling

Becky 01-28-2009 07:27 PM

Jack sighed, he started to pull out the bits of wiring, aiming at Dumont he flicked it Dang! Missed he flicked another piece of wiring Whooooo he laughed as it hit Dumont's hair
