    The implied French franc/US dollar exchange rate will be - FF19.84/$

    or

    $0.0504/FF

    Explanation:

    Assuming the price of an ounce of gold in US dollars ($/oz) $20.67

    Assuming the price of an ounce of gold in French francs (FF/oz) 410.00

    The implied French franc/US dollar exchange rate will be:

    FF410/$20=FF19.84/$ (FF19.84 is equal to one dollar)

    Alternatively, this can be expressed as follow:

    $0.0504/FF (i. e $0.0504 is equal to one FF - 1/19.84)
