Answer 2

You should receive 286.0821056 US dollars

Explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The exchange rate is USD/EURO 0.6991

- That means 1 USD = 0.6991 EURO

- You have 200 EURO

- You want to convert them to US dollars

∵ 1 dollars = 0.6991 euro

USD : EURO

1 : 0.6991

x : 200

∴
`(1)/(0.6991)=(x)/(200)`

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 0.6991 x = 200

- Divide both sides by 0.6991

∴ x = 286.0821056

∵ x represents the amount of US dollars

∴ You should receive 286.0821056 US dollars
