At Frankfurter Börse around noon adidas AG was the largest winner compared with the day before with a price of \Sexpr{SYM["EUR"]} \Sexpr{ADIDAS} per share. If you buy \Sexpr{nr} shares, how much are they worth in \Sexpr{SYM[cu]}? \end{question} \begin{solution} The worth in \Sexpr{SYM[cu]} is the number of shares $\times$ stock price $\times$ exchange rate, i.e., $\Sexpr{nr} \times \Sexpr{ADIDAS} \times \Sexpr{CURR[cu]} \approx \Sexpr{x}$. \end{solution} %% \extype{num} %% \exsolution{\Sexpr{fmt(x, digits = 3)}} %% \exname{Currency exchange rates} %% \extol{0.01}
