Conversion Formula
The conversion from Canadian dollars (CAD) to US dollars (USD) is based on the current exchange rate. The formula used is:
USD = CAD × Exchange Rate
Where:
- USD is the amount in US dollars.
- CAD is the amount in Canadian dollars.
- Exchange Rate is the current rate at which CAD can be exchanged for USD.
For example, if you have 100 CAD and the exchange rate is 0.75, the equivalent amount in USD would be 100 × 0.75 = 75 USD.
Worked Example
Let's look at a practical example to illustrate how the conversion works.
Suppose you have 200 CAD and you want to convert it to USD using an exchange rate of 0.78.
- Enter 200 in the CAD field.
- Enter 0.78 in the exchange rate field.
- Click the "Convert" button.
The calculator will perform the following calculation:
USD = 200 × 0.78 = 156 USD
So, 200 CAD is equivalent to 156 USD at the given exchange rate.
This example shows how the calculator can help you quickly and accurately convert between CAD and USD.
