Final answer:

Michelle has 134.62 USD remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to convert the amount of US dollars to Canadian dollars, subtract the amount spent, and then convert the remaining Canadian dollars back to US dollars.

Since the exchange rate is not provided in the question, we'll use an example exchange rate of $1 USD = $1.3 CAD.

Michelle exchanges 150 US dollars for Canadian dollars, which would be 150 * 1.3 = 195 CAD. If Michelle didn't spend C₂0 (which we assume is 20 CAD), then she would have 195 - 20 = 175 CAD remaining. To convert this back to US dollars, we divide the remaining Canadian dollars by the exchange rate: 175 / 1.3 = 134.62 USD.
