Question

Maria is converting £240 into $. She knows that £1 = €1.14 and €1 = $1.24. How many $ will Maria get? Give your answer to 2 dp.

Answer 1

$339.26

Explanation:

Convert pound sterlings into euros first, and consider that the exchange rate is 1.14.

`240 * 1.14 = €273.6`

Now, the euros have to be converted into dollars. Consider that the exchange rate is 1.24.

`€273.6 * 1.24 = \$339.26 \: (2 \: d.p.)`

So Maria will get $339.26.

Hope this helped!
