a. The nominal exchange rate is 0.5 Flops to one Gulp.

If a trader wanted to exchange 100 Gulps for Flops, how many Flops would she get?

.

b. Suppose a trader turns in 50 Gulps, and gets 150 Flops.

What is the nominal exchange rate?

Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places.

c. Suppose the nominal exchange rate is 10 Flops/Gulp.

A Guilderian trader wants to buy a barrel of Florish turnips for 40 Flops.

How many Gulps must he convert to get that many Flops?

   Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number.

Explanation / Answer

a.

If a trader wanted to exchange 100 Gulps for Flops, how many Flops would she get

=100*0.5

=50 flops

b. Suppose a trader turns in 50 Gulps, and gets 150 Flops.

What is the nominal exchange rate=150/50

=3 flops to 1 gulp or 3 Flops/Gulp

c.

How many Gulps must he convert to get that many Flops=40/10=4 gulps

the above all are the answers
