How can I easily compute the value of an item in a foreign currency?

You know, one of the most complicated things about travelling internationally is figuring out those exchange rates. So what I like to do is, I like to look it up on a computer before I travel, and then what I do is I make a cheat sheet for myself. So for example, if a hundred dollars is worth two hundred fifty in the local currency, I'll write that out. And then maybe I'll write out what seventy five dollars is worth, and then what fifty dollars is worth, and then maybe twenty five dollars. So that way, when I'm doing the exchange rate, and I'm at a restaurant, I sort of have a quick little guide. But also, if you don't have that with you, you can ask the restaurant what the local currency is in U.S. dollars. Also your hotel, and usually they'll help you out and give you that information.
