Solution

We are given that


\text{ \$}1=66.79\text{ }rupees

a.


\begin{gathered} 1rupees=\text{ \$}(1)/(66.79) \\ \\ 82.12rupees=\text{ \$}(82.12)/(66.79) \\ \\ 82.12rupees=\text{ \$1.23 \lparen to the nearest hundredth\rparen} \end{gathered}

b.


\begin{gathered} \text{ \$}77.65=77.65*66.79\text{ }rupees \\ \\ \text{ \$}77.65=5186.24\text{ }rupees\text{ \lparen to the nearest hundredth\rparen} \end{gathered}
