Answer:

Munich and Tokyo

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first evaluate the cost in dollars for a beer in each city.

New York: 6 dollars (easy, it's given)

Tokyo: 5 dollars
(500 yens)/(100 yens/dollar) = 5 dollars

Munich: 7.5 dollars
(6 euros)/(0.8 euro/dollar) = 7.5 dollars

Cancun: 7 dollars
(84 pesos)/(12 pesos/dollar) = 7 dollars

So, the most expensive beer is in Munich and the cheapest one is in Tokyo.
