Problema Solution

Asanji took a trip to Mexico.. Upon leaving he decided to convert all of his Pesos back into dollars. How many dollars did he receive if he exchanged 42.7 Pesos at a rate of $5.30=11.1 Pesos?

Answer provided by our tutors

pesos / $ = pesos/ $


11.1 / 5.30 = 42.7 / d where d = dollar equivalent of 42.7 pesos

Cross multiply

11.1d = 5.30 • 42.7 = 226.31

so d = that divided by 11.1
