San Isidro de El General, Costa Rica

The exchange rate is easy to calculate.

Here is a simple example:

500 ₡ ( CRC) = $1.15 (CAD)

To obtain this result, here is the procedure to follow:

1. Multiply the prices by 2.
2. Divide by 1000
3. Add 15%

Let's try this!

I would like to buy a sweater that has a value of 10,000 CRC
The Costa Rican Colón (CRC) is the currency used in Costa Rica.
The symbol is ₡.

Approach for the sweater:

10,000 ₡ x 2 = 20,000 ₡

Divide by 1000 = $20

Add 15% = $3

Total of the jersey in CAD dollars: $23
