ANSWERS

(a) 7.61 USD

(b) 1247.98 MXN

Step-by-step explanation

We know that on March 8, 2017, 1 USD was worth 19.61 MXN.

(a) To find how many dollars was 149.23 MXN worth on that date, we have to divide this amount by 19.61,

`149.23\text{ }MXN\cdot\frac{1\text{ }USD}{19.61\text{ }MXN}\approx7.61`

Hence, 149.23 Mexican pesos were worth 7.61 US dollars.

(b) Now, to find how many Mexican pesos were 63.64 USD worth on that date, we have to multiply it by 19.61 instead,

`63.64\text{ }USD\cdot\frac{19.61\text{ }MXN}{1\text{ }USD}\approx1247.98\text{ }MXN`

Hence, 63.64 US dollars were worth 1247.98 Mexican pesos.
