Do you take your mobile phone with you while you're away? If so, there's a calculator on it. I use it sometimes when I am changing money too, though if it's 100aud it's pretty easy to calculate..for some of us.
Though if you're not sure, if you're changing 100aud and the rate is 7400 for example, then just do the 100x7400 and it will give you the answer. I know to some this looks ridiculously simple, but to others who "suck at maths" it's a good way to get around it. Just use the mobile calculator.
BTW, there's a good money changer up near Kuta art markets, a kodak shop, they're usually really good in there. Just keep to the major one's and you should be fine. If the rate looks too good to be true, it probably IS!! They will try to rip you off.
