Janet Mann · Answer 1

Exchange rate is 2 guilders for every 3 florins

The conversion factor will be

2 guilders / 3 florins = 3 florins / 2 guilders = 1

so if we wish to convert 17 guilders to florins we will use following conversion factor

3 florins / 2 guilders = B / C

D = 17guilders X 3 florins / 2 guilders = 25.5 florins
