When you buy Costa Rican colones, the exchange rate you get is the amount of Costa Rican colones you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 687.78 means you'd get ₡687.78 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of Costa Rican colones you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling Costa Rican colones, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many Costa Rican colones you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 687.78 means you'd need to sell ₡687.78 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of Costa Rican colones, you need to divide the Costa Rican colon 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.
