English to U.S currency HELP!?

Question

I'm on this clothing website but all the prices are in "pounds" and stuff, you know with that little cursive L next to them. And i dont know how much a five pound is in U.S currency???

Answer 1

Ummmm.  $2 = 1 pound sterling.  The number is in pounds, double it.  Really simple.  

and, there's probably a currency converter in the website.

Answer 2

£5 is $9.9638 (so 1 pound is roughly 2 dollars)
