Question

How can i solve this problem:

Scott found a rare video game on an online auction site priced at 35 Australian dollars. If the exchange
rate is $1 U.S. = $1.24 Australian, find the cost of the game in United States dollars. Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

You want to find out how many times $1.24 goes into 35, so you'll divide 35 by $1.24.
The other answer did the opposite, and it's wrong.
You can easily check the answer when you get one ... since the US dollar is worth more, the game should cost less of them.
