An English visitor has 1284 British Pounds. The exchange rates given are: • 1 British Pound = R13 • 1 British Pound = 156 Kenyan Shillings • 1 British Pound = 34 Mozambican Meticais (a) To find how many Kenyan Shillings he can buy, multiply the number of British Pounds by the number of shillings per Pound:   1284 Pounds × 156 Shillings/Pound   = (1284 × 100) + (1284 × 56)   = 128400 + (1284 × 50 + 1284 × 6)   = 128400 + (64200 + 7704)   = 128400 + 71904   = 200304 Kenyan Shillings (b) To determine how many more Mozambican Meticais he can buy than South African Rands, we first convert his funds to each currency: • In Meticais:   1284 Pounds × 34 Meticais/Pound   = 1284 × 34   = (1284 × 30) + (1284 × 4)   = 38520 + 5136   = 43656 Meticais • In Rands:   1284 Pounds × R13/Pound   = 1284 × 13   = (1284 × 10) + (1284 × 3)   = 12840 + 3852   = 16692 Rands Now, subtract the amount in Rands from the amount in Meticais to find the difference:   43656 Meticais − 16692 Rands = 26964 Thus, the answers are: (a) 200,304 Kenyan Shillings (b) 26,964 more Mozambican Meticais than South African Rands
