I've changed back what was left from our holiday spending money, but the exchange rate they gave me is for Dollars to the Pound and I have changed Dollors back to pounds. Sorry, my brain is on strike as it is fed up of being at the PC and wants to play games.

$55 is Darryl's
$96 is Sam's
The remainder is mine.

I changed $314 and got £186.01 with an exchange rate of 1.6881. Any idea how much I need to give the boys?

55/314 * 186.01 = £32.58 for Darryl
96/314*186.01 = £56.87 for Sam

Leaving £96.56 for your good self!

so 314 dollars, which means 163 of the dollars are yours?

So 51.9% of the money is your's.
17.5% of the money is Darryl's.
30.5 of the money is Sam's.

£186.01 is what you have now.

So,
£96.53 is your's.
£32.55 is Darryl's.
£56.73 is Sams's.

The remaining 20p is a rounding error/my commission.

Edit: I win because I showed my working.

Thank you both. I'm going with Richard's, because he was first and I'd shared it out before Lewie posted. :) :kiss:

And nothing whatsoever to do with the 3p difference in your favour, I'm sure, eh? Nudge nudge, wink wink.

How is "55/314 * 186.01 = £32.58" not "showing my working"? :p

And LewieP didn't actually show any working, he just produced a series of numbers with no indication of how he got them. ;)
