Question

Kenya is reserving a room in a hotel in France where they use euros (€). The room charge is €75. Suppose the conversion rate is €1 = $1.298. What is the cost of the room in dollars?

Answer 1

The room charge = 75 euros
1 euro = $ 1.298

Cost of the room in dollars = Room charge * dollar/euro
= 75*1.298
= $ 97.35

Answer 2

$97.35.

Explanation:

We have been given that Kenya is reserving a room in a hotel in France where they use euros (€). The room charge is €75.

We will use dollar to euro conversion rate to solve our given problem.

€1 = $1.298.

To find the cost of the room in dollars, we will multiply $1.298 by 75.

`\text{The cost of the room in dollars}=\$1.298* 75`

`\text{The cost of the room in dollars}=\$97.35`

Therefore, the cost of the room is $97.35.
