Question

Estimate the difference in the value of 100 units of currency A and 300 units of currency B. Assume that one unit of currency B is about 0.077 units of currency A.

a) 23 units of currency A.
b) 231 units of currency A.
c) 154 units of currency A.
d) 770 units of currency A.

Answer 1

The correct estimated difference in value between 100 units of currency A and 300 units of currency B, where 1 unit of currency B equals 0.077 units of currency A, should be approximately 77 units of currency A. However, this answer is not listed in the provided options, suggesting there may be a need for clarification.

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate the difference in value between 100 units of currency A and 300 units of currency B, given that 1 unit of currency B is worth approximately 0.077 units of currency A:

1. First, convert the units of currency B into currency A equivalent: 300 units of currency B × 0.077 units of currency A/unit of currency B = 23.1 units of currency A.
2. Then, calculate the difference in value between the two currencies: 100 units of currency A - 23.1 units of currency A = 76.9 units of currency A.
3. Since we are estimating, the closest estimate provided in the options to 76.9 units of currency A is 77 units of currency A, which is not listed in the options provided. Therefore, we may need additional clarification as the provided answers do not reflect the estimated calculation.
