CHAP. CCCCXII. Of the Exchanges of Millan with Placentia.
* 1.1MIllan doth exchange with
Placentia, and giveth posito Sols 133⅓, to have in
Placentia one Crown of Mark; I demand then for
Livers 9671. 16. 8. of Millan, how many Crowns of
Mark must I have in Placentia?
First, reduce into Deniers the said 133⅓
Sols, multiplying them by 12, and adding 4 De∣niers for the ⅓ of a Sol. and they make Deniers 1600, and then to reduce into Deniers the said sum of Lire, multiply them by 20 and by 12, adding to the multiplication Sol. 16. and
De∣niers 8, which account with the Livers, and they make
Deniers 2321240, the which must be divided by Deniers 1600, the price of the Crown of Mark, and by division they will come to be
Crowns, multiplying the rest of the division by 20 and then by 12, to make them Sols and Deniers of Gold, and they make
Crow. 1450. 15. 6. of Mark, and so much will the said sum be in Placentia. Example:
