C$ to USD converter?

Postby RoxyTBDW » Wed Oct 20, 2021 8:19 am

Is there a C$ to USD converter? I'm trying to do the math that would be how many cents does C$5 equal? I know that 1 USD/100 cents is 16C$, so what is the formula to doing the math problem?

    I may be off with this, but by my math and using the numbers you provided:
    If 100 cents = 16 C$, you would divide 100 cents/16 C$ = 6.25 cents
    6.25 cents * 5 C$ = 31.25 cents

    Just to confirm this:
    100 cents - 31.25 cents = 68.75 cents
    16 C$ - 5 C$ = 11 C$
    68.75 cents/11 C$ = 6.25 cents
    OR 6.25 cents * 16 C$ = 100 cents or 1 USD

    It would get a bit messy when working with such small amounts of money, as the totals may not be whole numbers ^^;

hayjbsd lennie posted while i was typing but i figured i'd post mine anyway because i use a slightly different way of finding c$:usd! of course, you can use whichever method you find easiest.
if we know there are 16 chicken dollars in 1 us dollar, we can divide the amount we want to convert (5 chicken dollars) by the chicken dollar ratio (16 chicken dollars).

    so, 5 Γ· 16 = 0.3125
    we can round that to 0.31; the third digit (2) is less than 5, so we round down. in conventional society, we don't use the extra numbers. we don't have the coins to do that (and it'd be quite inconvenient).

    we know there are 100 cents in a dollar, so 0.31 of 1 dollar is 31 cents ($0.31).
    notice that this gives you the answer in dollar format. if we want it in cents only, we can multiple our answer by 100 (the number of cents in a dollar) to get Β’31.

we can do this with any of the common c$ ratios, such as c$20:usd$1 or c$100:usd$1.
these numbers can be easier to divide by, but the higher you go the less usd you'll get out of it.
for example:

    5 Γ· 20 = $0.25
this is really only a noticeable difference when dealing with larger amounts:

    C$1000 = 1000 Γ· 16 = $62.50
    C$1000 = 1000 Γ· 20 = $50.00


in general:
amount converting (c$x) Γ· conversion ratio (c$16) = $x.xx
