Question

Steve changed $600 US dollars into 480 Euros. How many Euros did he receive for each US dollar?

Answer 1

By proportion that would be;-

480 / 600 = 0.80 euros.

Answer 2

He received 0.80 Euro for each US dollar.

Explanation:

Suppose, Steve received
`x` Euros for each US dollar.

So,
`600\ US\ dollars= 600x\ Euros`

Given that, he changed $600 US dollars into 480 Euros. So, the equation will be....

`600x=480\\ \\ x=(480)/(600)\\ \\ x=0.80`

So, he received 0.80 Euro for each US dollar.
