he's been given a rate.

2800 / 0.75

I think that's right. £3,733.33

Yes it's not the CURRENT exchange rate, hence why xe.com isn't relevant.

wait a sec

which one is correct!!!

(1 / 0.75) = 1.33 x 2800 = 3724

2800 / 0.75 = 3733

which one is correct?

I am having such a spaz day (and yes I know that isn't PC)

tut tut tut, don't round!
If you do 1/0.75 you get 1.3333333333333333333333333333333 until infinity NOT 1.33
If you do it all in one go on a calculator, you get 3733

internet kissed you on the forehead - thanks!
