Answer 1

To calculate how much Hillary spent in total, we need to convert the amount she spent in euros to US dollars. First, we need to find out how many euros she had, given the exchange rate of 1 euro to 0.7936 US dollars. Then, we need to convert that amount of Euros to Swedish Kronor, given the exchange rate of 1 Euro to 10.1069 Swedish Kronor. Finally, we need to convert the Swedish Kronor to US dollars using the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Swedish Kronor. The correct option is c. $1,248.93.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how much Hillary spent in total, we need to convert the amount she spent in euros to US dollars. First, we need to find out how many euros she had, given the exchange rate of 1 euro to 0.7936 US dollars. Then, we need to convert that amount of Euros to Swedish Kronor, given the exchange rate of 1 Euro to 10.1069 Swedish Kronor. Finally, we need to convert the Swedish Kronor to US dollars using the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Swedish Kronor. Here's how:

1. Amount in Euros = Amount in US dollars / Exchange rate (1 Euro = 0.7936 US dollars)
2. Amount in Swedish Kronor = Amount in Euros * Exchange rate (1 Euro = 10.1069 Swedish Kronor)
3. Amount in US dollars = Amount in Swedish Kronor / Exchange rate (1 US dollar = X Swedish Kronor)

Using this method, we can find out the total amount Hillary spent in US dollars.
