- 1). Determine the exchange rate. Since the worth of the pound and dollar are always changing in relation to one another, you need to determine the current rate of exchange. You can find this by visiting the resource below. The orange number in the "Amount:" field under the "US Dollar" designation is the exchange rate you need to perform the conversion.
- 2). Determine the conversion formula. As of March 2010, 1 British Pound is equal to 1.5103 USD. In this case, the formula is USD=GDPx1.5103. So, multiply the amount of pounds by the rate to determine how many dollars you have.
- 3). Perform the conversion. Using the conversion formula, plug in the values which you know. In this case, you want to convert GDP to USD so multiply the amount of GDP by 1.5103. For example, if you have 150 Pounds, you multiply 150 by 1.5103 and you get 226.05. So 150 Pounds is equal to roughly 226 Dollars.
