Blain exchanges $100 for yen before going to Japan. If each U.S. dollar is worth 88.353 yen, how many yen should Blain receive?

To figure out how many yen all ya have to do is multiply 88.353 by 100 to get the answer 8835.3 yen.

we know that


1 U.S. dollar is worth
88.353 yen

by proportion


(1)/(88.353)(usd)/(yen) =(100)/(x) (usd)/(yen) \\ \\ x=100*88.353\\ \\ x=8,835.3\ yen

therefore

the answer is


8,835.3\ yen
