Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
0.4(12 - 3x) = 0.3(12x - 16)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 4.8 - 1.2x = 3.6x - 4.8
- Add 1.2x on both sides: 4.8 = 4.8x - 4.8
- Add 4.8 on both sides: 9.6 = 4.8x
- Divide 4.8 on both sides: 2 = x
- Rewrite: x = 2

A book is sold in Belize for 80.39 Belize dollars.
In Brazil, it sells for 63.65 Brazilian reals.
The exchange rate of US Dollars to Belize Dollars is 1:1.9246
<span>The exchange rate of US Dollars to Brazilian Real is 1:1.7880
</span>
If we convert the two into dollars,
Belize Dollars
1 : 1.9246 = X : <span>80.39
1.9246X = 80.39
X = $ 41.77
</span>Brazilian Real
1 : 1.7880 = X : <span>63.65 </span><span>
</span>1.7880X = <span>63.65 </span><span>
X = $ 35.60
</span>
Difference = $ 41.77 - $ 35.60
Difference = $ 6.17
So, in Belize the book is more expensive by $ 6.17
