Confusion on Multiplication with 10000000000

[jasjyotsinghjaswal]

Hi Patrick,
I understand that there is a limitation with decimals in solidity but I am not sure why in getPrice function we are multiplying with 10000000000 if we are eventually dividing with 10000000000 in getConversionRate . Wont avoiding multiplying in getPrice automatically avoid need of dividing by 10000000000 in getConversionRate .
Just asking out of curiosity?

Yeah you're right, however consider getPrice and GetConversionRate are independent functions, and it could be a scenario where you use just getPrice and not getConversionRate so that's why is important to set the numbers as that.
