Paul travelled from the US to France when the exchange rate was €0.78 = $1.

He saw a mobile phone in a shop in Paris for €187.
The same mobile phone cost $254 in New York.
Where should Paul buy the mobile phone?

So the phone is Paris is €187
and the phone in the New York $254x0.78 =€192.12
So he should buy the phone in Paris
The work would be
$254x0.78=€192.12
