Conversion formula
The formula to convert pesos to dollars is:
Amount in USD = Amount in MXN × Exchange Rate (USD/MXN)
Where:
- Amount in MXN is the quantity of Mexican pesos you want to convert.
- Exchange Rate (USD/MXN) is the current value of 1 US dollar in Mexican pesos.
For example, if you have 500 MXN and the exchange rate is 1 USD = 20 MXN, the calculation would be:
500 MXN ÷ 20 MXN/USD = 25 USD
Worked example
Let's say you have 1,200 Mexican pesos and the current exchange rate is 1 USD = 20.5 MXN. Here's how to convert it to dollars:
- Identify the amount in pesos: 1,200 MXN.
- Determine the exchange rate: 1 USD = 20.5 MXN.
- Divide the amount in pesos by the exchange rate: 1,200 ÷ 20.5 ≈ 58.54.
- Round the result to two decimal places: 58.54 USD.
So, 1,200 Mexican pesos is approximately 58.54 US dollars.
