Question

In August 2016, the Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Kassandra wants to purchase one ticket for the opening ceremony, at a cost of 3000 Brazilian Real each. If 1 US dollar is equal to 3.48 Brazilian Real, then what is the cost of the ticket in US dollars?

Answer 1

To convert the cost of the ticket in Brazilian Real to US dollars, divide the cost by the exchange rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the cost of the ticket in US dollars, we need to multiply the cost of the ticket in Brazilian Real by the exchange rate. The cost of the ticket in Brazilian Real is 3000. The exchange rate is 3.48 Brazilian Real per 1 US dollar. To convert Brazilian Real to US dollars, we divide 3000 by 3.48:

3000 Brazilian Real / 3.48 Brazilian Real per 1 US dollar = 862.07 US dollars

Therefore, the cost of the ticket in US dollars would be $862.07.
