Final answer:
Maria will get $339.26 after converting £240 into US dollars by first converting to euros at a rate of £1 = €1.14, and then to US dollars at a rate of €1 = $1.24.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student, Maria, wants to know how many S (US dollars) she will get after converting £240 into the said currency. Given the exchange rates are £1 = €1.14 and €1 = $1.24, we first convert pounds to euros and then euros to US dollars.
Step 1: Maria converts £240 to Euros.
£240 × €1.14 = €273.60
Step 2: Maria converts €273.60 to US dollars.
€273.60 × $1.24 = $339.26
Thus, after conversion, Maria will have $339.26.
