Lasca did the calculations one the second calculator. Rasing her hand she answered the Professor. "$100 U.S. dollars is equal to: 69.77 pounds, 75.36 Euros, 120.88 Canadian Dollars, 149.08 in Australian currency, and 8976.5 Yen." |
Even though Evangeline had no idea of how much a US dollar actually was worth, she felt like she was getting the hang of it and grabbed the other calculator when Professor Dumont told them what to do, and scribbled the values down on her parchment. Then she raised her hand and read what she had written: "$100.00 US dollars are: 75.54 euros, 69.89 pounds, 120.87 Canadian dollars, 149.38 Australian dollars and 8979.5 Japanese yens." |
"Oooh," Cela realised, raising her hand, "It's changing!" She did her calculations again and they came up different, "Why doesn't it stay the same, Professor?" |
Ana raised her hand "In English pounds is 69.76, Euros would be 75.38, Canadian dollar is 120.99, Australian dollar is 148.99 and finally in the Japonese Yen would be 8979" |
She raised her hand. "Sir that comes out to 75.52 for the euro, 69.86 British pounds, 8,985 Japanese yes, 149.32 Australian dollars, and 120.98 Canadian dollars." She told him |
Furiously stabbing at the buttons on his calculator, Terry worked through the sums, trying to remember the various currencies they'd been asked to do. He scribbled several answers down simultaneously. 'Sir, 100 US dollars is equivalent to 69.73 British pounds, 75.4 Euro-dollars, 121 Canadian dollars, 149 Australian dollars and 9003 Yen.' |
Rachel frowned at the talking Gryffindors disapprovingly, but she was happy on the inside. Yes, it's mean but the less points for them, the more for us! Looking down at her notes she began calculating the sums and once she was finished said, "100 US dollars are the equivalent of 75.61 Euro dollars, 69.93 British pounds, 120.9 Canadian dollars, 149.41 Australian dollars and 8987 Japanese yen." |
Getting the other calculator Vanessa made a start of the calculations. She then raised her hand. "For the English pound it is, 64 pounds and 75 pence. For the Euro-dollar is it 75 dollars 45 cent. For the Canadian Dollar is it 121 Dollars and 8 Cent. For the Australian Dollar it is 148 Dollars and 81 Cent and for the Japanese Yen it is 9000 yens." |
"Thank you all very much." Tobi snarled. He added to his list of goals, I will not kill any of my housemates! He did the conversions as fast as he could, but the amount of numbers got him confused a little. He hoped he didn't have the numbers connected to the wrong currency. He raised his hand, "For 100$ US needed to equal that in other currencies are: the pound: 69.81, the Euro: 75.49, the Canadian Dollar: 120.97, te Australian Dollar, 149.16, and the Yen: 8972." |
Miranda used the handout and calculator and scribbled on her parchment. Raising her hand, she said, "Professor, $100 US Dollars would be...75.36 Euros, 120.95 in Cananda, 149.02 in Australia, 69.75 here in England, and 8977.5 in Japan." She blinked at the large number for yen. Was that right? |
Miles' fingers pressed the numerous buttons on the calculator with his tongue sticking out slightly in concentration. "Sir, $100 is £69.78, in Euros it is €79.51, in Canadian dollars, it is C$ 120.89. In the Austrailian dollar, it is $148.86, and Japenese Yen, ¥9002." |
Jake used the other thing he'd been given at the start and raised his hand. "Sir, $100 is equal to... £69.77 in the English pound, 75.42 in the Euro-dollar, 120.92 in the Canadian dollar, 149.19 in the Australian dollar and 8983 in Japanese yen." |
As the students read aloud their answers, Karma was very confused. Frowning, she raised her hand. "Professor, why are we all getting different answers? No one, so far, has the same ones." |
"Professor it keeps changing!" |
Rachel blinked as she heard different answers coming from different people. Frowning, she keyed in the sum and to her amazement saw that it was indeed, just like Cela had asked, changing. She was confused for a few seconds then realised why it was changing and her face broke into a smile. The stock market is constantly changing... She wondered if wizards also had their own version of the muggle stock market. |
Jake listened to the others and raised his hand. "Sir, it is changing. Is it because of the ever-changing exchange rate?" |
Quote:
In Pounds 69.73 In Euros 75.35 In Canadian dollars 120.94 In Australian dollars $ 148.97 In Yen 8984. Then she raised her hand, and said the answers. Whew that was hard! She wiped the sweat off her forehead. Stupid math. Melanie found herself hoping they'd move onto something else soon. Not that this wasn't interesting and all. She squirmed impatiently in her seat. Why did no one have the same answer?! |
Cadence raised her hand as she realized that very few of the students had calculated the same answers as her. "Professor, do the calculations keep changing slightly because of fluctuations in the Global Economy? I had to take Economics at my Muggle school, and we learned that money equivalencies constantly change." |
"£100 US Dollars is 69.74 Pounds...75.46 Euros...148.65 Aus Dollars...120.95 Canadian dollars and 9002.5 Yen." Sarah answered. Hmmm she had something different to the others. |
"So all the answers are right... right?" she asked |
Sir, $100 in US money would be 69.98 british pounds, 75.92 euros , 121.37 cadandian dollars, 149.12 austrialian dollar, and 9063 japanese yen |
As Emiliano listened to the whole class he became a little confused. Sure he had used all that money once in his life, but conversions was not his forte. He did his calculations and raised his hand to answer to Professor Dumont. "One hundred U.S. Dollars equal to 69.80 British Pounds, 75.46 Euro Dollars, 121.15 Canadian Dollars, 148.99 Australian Dollars and 9023 Japanese Yens...." He carefully said, trying not to trip while he spoke. |
"Let me see. I got 121.37 Canadian, 75.92 Euro, 69.98 British pound, 149.12 Australian dollar and 9057.5 yen," Antonio said. "Can any of you explain the reason why the amounts keep changing? There is a reason for it, and it's a very interesting one. In fact, I believe some of you may have already figured it out. Jake, you were asking about the ever-changing exchange rate. This is the exact reason why the calculations keep changing, but they should be steady enough that they will be correct within a few degrees. Interesting, though, isn't it?" |

Varius raised his hand once more to offer his calculations (since the calculator seemed to be giving out a mixture), " I have 75.37 euros, 69.74 british pounds, 121.03 canadian dollars, 149.12 australian dollars and 8979 yen to 100 american dollars." |
