Answer 2

286

Explanation:

Given : Myra asked Annabelle to buy her some perfume while she was in France. Annabelle paid 200 euros for it. Myra wants to pay Annabelle back in U.S. dollars.

To Find: If the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro is 1:0.7, how much should Myra pay Annabelle?

Solution:

Since Annabelle paid 200 euros

And Myra wants to pay Annabelle back in U.S. dollars.

Let Myra paid amount to Annabelle in U.S. dollar be x

We are also given that the U.S. dollar and the euro is 1:0.7

⇒
`(1)/(0.7)=(x)/(200)`

⇒
`(1*200)/(0.7)=x`

⇒
`(200)/(0.7)=x`

⇒
`285.7=x`

⇒285.7≈286

Thus Myra should pay $286 to Annabelle
