Question

car rental in Thailand cost $35 per day when booked in advance. If rented locally you would be charged 1800 bahts per day. If the exchange rate is 40 bahts equals $1 how much cheaper is it to book in advance

Answer 1

40 bahts = $ 1.....so 1800 bahts = 1800/40 = $ 45

book in advance = $ 35

so it is (45 - 35) = $ 10 bucks cheaper to book in advance

Answer 2

advance booking is cheaper by 400 bahts or $10.

Explanation:

Car rental cost in advanced booking = $35 per day

and

when the rented locally it is charged = 1800 bahts per day

it is given that,

$1 is equal to 40 bahts.

now,

Car rental cost in advanced booking = 35 × 40

= 1400 bahts

hence, when booking is done advance

the cost is cheaper by 1800 - 1400 = 400 bahts

hence, advance booking is cheaper by 400 bahts or $10.
