Question

Asanji was planning a trip to South Africa before going he did some research and learned that the exchange rate is $5.20= 7.4 rand how much rand would he get if he exchanged $19.50

Answer 1

The amount of rand he will collect when $19.50 was exchanged to rand is;

`27.75\text{ rands}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the exchange rate is $5.20= 7.4 rand;

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \$5.20 }\rightarrow\text{ 7.4 rands} \\ \text{ \$1 }\rightarrow(7.4)/(5.2)\text{ rands} \end{gathered}`

So, for $19.50, we have;

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \$19.50 }\rightarrow(7.4)/(5.2)*19.50\text{ rands} \\ \text{ \$19.50 }\rightarrow27.75\text{ rands} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the amount of rand he will collect when $19.50 was exchanged to rand is;

`27.75\text{ rands}`
