How it's used

It is frequently used in financial or analytical contexts where one needs to express a figure in a different, more understandable unit. Unlike simple equality, it implies a calculation or exchange process has taken place.
Examples
How much is this item in Hong Kong dollars?
Their salary is quite high when converted to an hourly rate.

Common mistake
