Problem: Luis is planning a trip to Rome. Before he leaves, he wants to exchange his American money ($) for Euro (€). If the current exchange rate is $1 : €0.84, how much money will he get if he exchanges $75?

We can find the amount of euros using the rule of three


\begin{gathered} 1\text{ dollar}\rightarrow0.84\text{ euros} \\ 75\text{ dollars}\rightarrow x \end{gathered}

then:


x=(75\cdot0.84)/(1)=63

Therefore he will get 63 euros.
