Question

Shanice took a trip to Tajikistan. Upon leaving she decided to convert all of her Somoni back into dollars. How many dollars did she receive if she exchanged 43.5 Somoni at a rate of $1 for every 3.2 Somoni?

Answer 1

To convert 43.5 Somoni into dollars at a rate of $1 for every 3.2 Somoni, the student would receive $13.59.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the 43.5 Somoni into dollars at a rate of $1 for every 3.2 Somoni, we can set up a proportion:

1. 43.5 Somoni corresponds to x dollars
2. 3.2 Somoni corresponds to 1 dollar

Setting up the proportion, we have:

43.5 Somoni / 3.2 Somoni = x dollars / 1 dollar

Cross-multiplying, we get:

x dollars = (43.5 Somoni * 1 dollar) / 3.2 Somoni

Calculating the result, we get:

x dollars = 13.59375 dollars
