Of the Exchange of Palermo and Mesina with Placentia.
PAlermo and Mesina exchange for Placentia, and give * 1.1posito carlins 29 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to have in the said place one cro. of marc. I demand then for ounces 1180, taries 7, and gr. 19, how many crownes of marc. shall I have in Placentia, herein do as in the precedent ac∣count, multiplying the said ounces by 30, to make them taries, and adde the 7, which are with the ounces, and then multiply, the said taries by 20, to make them graines, and adde the 19 and they will be grains 7081 59 do the same with the said 29½ carlins, multiplying them by 10, to bring them into gra. adding 5 for the ½ carlin, and they make 295 grains, the which taken for di∣visor, against the said summe of grains come of the ounces 1180 7 19, and of the divisor will come cro. of marc. multiplying the re∣mainder by 20, and then by 12, to make them sols, and deniers of gold, and they make cro. 2400 10 9 and so many cro. of marc. shall I have in Placentia for the said summe of Ounces.〈 math 〉〈 math 〉
