Answer 2

If the funny letter you are talking about is a script "L", that means the price is in British pounds.

At present, the exchange rate is as follows:

1 British Pound = 1.98782 US Dollar     

1 US Dollar = 0.503063 British pound

Multiplying the price in pounds by 2 gets you very close. 118.23 pounds equals US $235.01
