Michael exchanged 1000 US dollars for the Croatian currency, which is called the Kuna.The exchange rate was 5.81 Kuna to 1 dollar. How many Croatian Kuna did Michael get?Explain how you know.

Answer 1

For this problem, just divide 1000 by 5.81 and the answer will be 172.12

Answer 2

Since the exchange rate is 1 dollar=5.81 Kuna
                                        1000 dollars=?
                                          1000/1*5.81 Kuna= 5810 Kuna
Therefore Michael will get 5810 Kuna for 1000 dollars.
Since you know that 1 dollar is equivalent to 5.81 Kuna , all you need to do is multiply 1000 by 5.8 to get its equivalent in Kuna.
