The reason in explanations is clear, it's how people naturally think about it "You have 1 B, then 3 Ws...". People don't say aloud "You have B times 1, then W times 3".

Well, it's how people talk about it, in English. Unless they're talking about dollars or yen, where the unit comes first for some reason!

In english writing, sure.

I don't think I've ever heard someone say "That'll be dollar 50" though? I they did, I'd assume they were talking about something that costs $1.50
