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?

Answer 1

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

`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
