Question

USD= 0.90 EUROS

a. What is this amount equivalent to in U.S. dollars?
b. What is this rate equivalent to in U.S. dollars per gallon?

Answer 1

a. To convert euros to U.S. dollars, multiply the amount in euros by the exchange rate of 1 euro to U.S. dollars. If the average price of gasoline is h euros per liter, then the equivalent amount in U.S. dollars is h * 0.90 USD/EUR. If the average price of gasoline is h euros per liter, then the equivalent amount in U.S. dollars is h * 0.90 USD/EUR = h * 0.90 * 1.1096 USD/EUR = h * 0.99 USD/EUR.

b. To convert liters to gallons, divide the number of liters by 3.78541. If the average price of gasoline is h euros per liter, then the equivalent rate in U.S. dollars per gallon is (h * 0.90 USD/EUR) / 3.78541 USD/gallon. If the average price of gasoline is h euros per liter, then the equivalent rate in U.S. dollars per gallon is (h * 0.99 USD/EUR) / 3.78541 USD/gallon = h * 0.99 / 3.78541 EUR/gallon = h * 0.26172 USD/gallon.

Hope this can help you!
