Worked Example
Let's look at a practical example to understand how the calculator works.
Suppose you have $100 USD and want to convert it to CAD. The current exchange rate is 1 USD = 1.35 CAD.
Converted Amount = $100 × 1.35 = $135 CAD
This means $100 USD is equivalent to $135 CAD at the current exchange rate.
If you were converting from CAD to USD, the calculation would be:
Converted Amount = $135 ÷ 1.35 = $100 USD
