Calculation help needed.... brain frozen

[LittleRedSparkle]

not sure if this is the right forum, but i'm sure someone will let me know if its not!!

i need to calculate the following

I have an amount in USD
I have a conversion rate from USD to GBP
I have a conversion rate from GBP to EUR
I need to work out what the conversion rate from USD to EUR is....

my head is frazzled and i cannot see it!

Why do you need to work it out? Google is your friend here - www.google.co.uk/finance/converter

use: www.xe.com/currencyconverter/ :)

Rate is about 1.1. If this is a homework question then its fractions simplification or just do the calculations sequentially and then calculate the rate at the end.

sadly its not a homework question, and i need the formula to use

would it be,.

= ( USD fx / GBP fx ) / EUR fx

does that look logical? seems to be working - normally i dont struggle with things like this, but this one is really annoying me!

You absolutely have to have that GBP factor in the middle?

Usd fx gbp fx eur fx

Sorry usd gbp fx eur fx

You're applying the gbp factor first to usd, then applying the eur factor to the result to get euros.

doh!

found it

i only need to do EUR / USD and then i can x my USD by the result...

its the result i am looking for, to apply to the rest of the report

so if my EUR was 2 and my USD was 1.5 ( 2 / 1.5 )
i would need to * my USD by 1.33 to get the EUR amount

Eg. $1 = £2 (factor = 2)
£1 = €0.50 (factor = 0.5)

You have $2; how many €?

2×2×0.5=€2
