<u>Answer: </u>Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

There is no acceptance and no contract in this case. Mina Loy's written offer letter states clearly that the acceptance has to be made through first class mail. The terms of the offer were not fulfilled by Carl Van Vechten as he did not perform the acceptance as per the condition mentioned in the offer.

As there is no valid contract the parties to the contract that is Mina Loy and Carl Vechten are not obliged to perform their obligations as promised.

If the exchange rate is 5 Egyptian pounds per U.S. dollar, a watch that costs $25 US dollars costs a. 125 Egyptian pounds b. 50
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

A. 125 Egyptian pounds

Explanation:

Let’s create a proportion using the following setup.

pounds/dollars=pounds/dollars

We know that 5 Egyptian pounds is equal to 1 dollar.

5 pounds/ 1 dollar= pounds/dollars

We don’t know how many pounds are in 25 dollars. We can say x pounds are in 25 dollars.

5 pounds / 1 dollar = x pounds/ 25 dollars

5/1=x/25

We want to find out what x is, so we need to get x by itself.

x is being divided by 25. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 25.

25*(5/1)=(x/25)*25

25*5/1=x

25*5=x

125=x

$25 US dollars are equal to 125 Egyptian pounds. Therefore, the watch will cost 125 Egyptian pounds and choice A is correct.
