Answer:

$14.5

Explanation:

Given data

Cost for the visit=442.25 Rubles

exchange rate

3 USD= 91.5 Rubles

but 1 USD= 91.5/3

= 30.5

Therefore if 1 USD is 30.5 Rubles

Then xUSD is 442.25 Rubles

cross multiply

30.5x= 442.25

divide both sides by 30.5

x= 442.25/30.5

x=14.5USD

The cost of the attraction is $14.5
