I'm going to London for my 18Th b day.I'm staying 7 days.$1,000 = 500 pounds is 500 pounds like $1,000.

Question

can someone explain the pound to me! i don't really get it...

Answer 1

Yeah, if you want to make it easy for yourself you can say that the pound is half of what it is in dollar.

Something that costs 100 pounds - would be about 200 dollars

Something that costs 100 dollars - would be about 50 pounds

Answer 2

no it is exactly half

Answer 3

You will find that many things cost double what they cost in the United States. If you go to a movie in London, the price will be 9 or 10 pounds. You normally expect a movie to cost 9 or 10 dollars in the US, but in London you will be paying $18 to $20.

Answer 4

The pound is one of the strongest currencies in the world, so 100 American dollars is only 500 british pounds at the moment.

It should still be ok for seven days, you won't be able to go nuts but its more than enough to get you through comfortably
