Answer 1

First, we need to convert 15 American dollars to Euro:

15 USD * 17.1 Euro/USD = 256.5 Euro

Then, we can use the exchange rate between Euro and Dominican Pesos to convert Euro to Dominican Pesos:

1 Euro = 435.2 Dominican Pesos/7 Euro

Therefore, 256.5 Euro = (256.5/7) * 435.2 Dominican Pesos = 9,475.2 Dominican Pesos

Finally, we can use the proportion:

12 USD / 15 USD = x Dominican Pesos / 9,475.2 Dominican Pesos

Solving for x, we get:

x = (12/15) * 9,475.2 = 7,580.16 Dominican Pesos

Therefore, 12 American dollars is worth 7,580.16 Dominican Pesos.
