We are given that the visitor has 1284 British Pounds and the following exchange rates:

• 1 British Pound = R13  
• 1 British Pound = 156 Kenyan Shillings  
• 1 British Pound = 34 Mozambican Meticals

a) To find how many Kenyan Shillings he can buy, multiply the amount in British Pounds by the exchange rate for Kenyan Shillings:

1284 British Pounds × 156 Kenyan Shillings/Pound = 200,304 Kenyan Shillings

b) First, calculate how many Rands and how many Mozambican Meticals he can purchase, then find the difference.

• Rands:  
  1284 British Pounds × R13/Pound = 1284 × 13 = 16,692 Rands

• Mozambican Meticals:  
  1284 British Pounds × 34 Meticals/Pound = 1284 × 34  
  To compute: 1284 × 30 = 38,520 and 1284 × 4 = 5,136; adding these gives 38,520 + 5,136 = 43,656 Mozambican Meticals

Now, subtract to find how many more Mozambican Meticals he can buy than Rands:

43,656 Meticals – 16,692 Rands = 26,964

Answer Summary:
a) He can buy 200,304 Kenyan Shillings.  
b) He can buy 26,964 more Mozambican Meticals than Rands.
He can buy 200,304 Kenyan Shillings and 26,964 more Mozambican Meticals than Rands.
