Answer:

Bill got more ($1.62) for each pound exchanged than did Gwyll ($1.56).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the unit rate in each case, that is, the number of dollars obtained through exchanging one (1) pound for dollars:

Bill:

$729

--------- = $1.62 per pound

£450

Gwyll:

$780

---------- = $1.56 per pound

 £500

Bill got more ($1.62) for each pound exchanged than did Gwyll ($1.56).
