Question

Write a proportion and solve for the question.

121.32 croatian kuna is worth US$18. How much in US dollars would you get for 375 croatian kuna?

Answer 1

The worth of 375 Croatian Kuna = $ 55.54

Explanation:

Here, given:

The worth of 121.32 Croatian Kuna = $18

Now, let us assume the worth of 375 Croatian Kuna = $ m

As, both have same units in conversion at the same rate,

So, by the RATIO OF PROPORTION:

`(18)/(121.32 )   = (m)/(375)`

Solving for the value of m, we get:

`m = (18)/(121.32)  * 375  = 55.64`

or, m = $55.64

Hence, the worth of 375 Croatian Kuna = $ 55.54
