If "a" is the money you have in one currency and "b" is the exchange rate, then "c" is how much money you'll have after the exchange. So a * b = c, and a = c/b.

The core equation is RER = eP*/P, where, in our example, e is the nominal dollar/euro exchange rate, P* is the average price of a good in the euro area, and P is the average price of the good in the United States.
