Question

Torres was planning a trip to china. Before going, he did some research and learned that the exchange rate is one Yuan for $0.15. How many Yuan would he get if he exchanged $300?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 2000 yuan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Devise a proportion for this, and then cross-multiply. I believe that is the easiest way.

$\frac{1}{0.15} = \frac{x}{300} \\ 0.15x = 300 \\ x = \frac{300}{0.15} \\ x = \frac{30000}{15} \\ x = \frac{10000}{5} \\ x = 2000$
