    2.0384 U. S. dollars

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    One British pound can purchase = 1.82 U. S. dollars

    If U. S dollar depreciate by 12% then a person will be able to purchase more U. S dollars from one British pound.

    British pound new exchange rate:

    = Previous exchange rate * (1 + depreciation rate)

    = 1.82 * (1 + 12%)

    = 1.82 * 1.12

    = 2.0384 U. S. dollars
