Troy is going to Spain and needs to convert his dollars to euros. He knows that when he goes, $5.00 is equivalent to about 3.45 Euros, How many will he get for $125?

To solve this, you need to set up a proportion.

$5/3.45 euros = $125/x euros

then, cross multiply

5x=(3.45)(125)
5x=431.25
x=86.25

The answer is 86.25 euros
