When you buy Hong Kong dollars, the exchange rate you get is the amount of Hong Kong dollars you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 9.8692 means you'd get $9.8692 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of Hong Kong dollars you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling Hong Kong dollars, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many Hong Kong dollars you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 9.8692 means you'd need to sell $9.8692 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of Hong Kong dollars, you need to divide the Hong Kong dollar amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
