Question

1000 (Japanese Yen) is equivalent to $8.00. A shirt costing 650 Yen would cost how many dollars?A $5.20B $6.50C $8.13D $12.30

Answer 1

Here, we are given the conversion rate for the Japanese Yen to the US dollars and asked to convert a certain amount in Japanese Yen to US dollars

From the question;

1000 japanese yen = 8 usd

So let 650 Yen = x usd

To get x, we have;

1000 * x = 650 * 8

1000x = 5200

divide both sides by 1000

x = 5200/1000

x = $5.20

Going by the conversion factor, 650 Yen will cost $5.20
