195 euros

Explanation:

Answer 2

Ron will be paying 195.65 euros for the camera.

Explanation:

This question can be solved as a rule of three problem.

The exchange rate is $1.15 per euro, that is, 1 euro is $1.15.

Ron is willing to pay $225. How many euros is this? So:

1 euro - $1.15

x euros - $225.

`1.15x = 225`

`x = (225)/(1.15)`

`x = 195.65`

Ron will be paying 195.65 euros for the camera.
