1.2 Two quoted rates
Two rates, a buying rate and a selling rate, will often be given.
Illustration 2
For example, the US$ to £1 rate might be quoted as:
1.2830 – 1.2950
In this case, the lower rate is how many US$ can be bought from the bank for
£1, and the higher rate is how many US$ would have to be sold to the bank in
exchange for £1.
