Hi - the price per train, number of trains, and exchange rate are all simply data points you would ask of the interviewer:

Price of 23.1 MCHF/train x 30 trains ÷ 1.1CHF/€ = 630M€

I'm sorry, the revenues were easy to calculate. The profits are a bit more complex, I would say. The answer provided is not completely clear to me.
