Question

Ming was planning a trip to Western Samoa. Before going, she did some researchand learned that the exchange rate is 6 Tala for $5. How many Tala would she get ifshe exchanged $30? Give your answer correct to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

Exchange rate = 6 Tala / $5

Applying the unitary method would give us the appropiate relationship:

`\text{Number of Tala=}\frac{6\text{ Tala}}{5\text{usd}}\cdot30\text{usd}`

Multiplying numbers and simplifying:

`\text{Number of Tala= 36 Tala}`

The number of Tala would be 36.
