Question

Eitr is touring Japan .She is interested in buying a souvenir that costs 1800 yen. how much is this in dollars if the exchange rate is $1 to y400?​

Answer 1

1,800 yen ÷ 400 yen/dollar = $4.50

Answer 2

$4.5

Explanation:

In order to convert the price of the souvenir from yen to dollars, we can use the following equation:

`\textsf{Amount in dollars } =\frac{\textsf{ Amount in yen }}{\textsf{ Exchange rate}}`

In this case, we have

• Amount in yen = 1800 yen
• Exchange rate = 400 yen per dollar

Now,

Substitute the given value in above equation and simplify, we get

`\begin{aligned} \textsf{Amount in dollars } &=\sf (1800\, yen)/(400 \,yen/dollar) \\\\ &= \sf 4.5 \, dollars\end{aligned}`

Therefore, the souvenir costs $4.5 if the exchange rate is $1 to ¥400.
