Question

On a recent day, one U.S dollar was worth 0.64 euros. If you were to exchange 126 euros on that day, how many U.S. dollars would you have received?
$64.00
$80.64
$126.00
$196.88

Answer 1

Answer: $196.88

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the rate of 1 US dollar = 0.64 euros.

Then, 1 euro = $\frac{1}{0.64}\text{ dollars}$

⇒ 1 euro =1.5625 dollars

Now, 126 euros = $126\times1.5625$

$\Rightarrow126\text{euros} =196.875\approx196.88\text{ dollars}$

Hence, If we exchange 126 euros on that day, then we would receive 196.88 dollars.
