D) $5,026.44
E) $4,299.03

Answer 1

Option D = 5026.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount at the start of the trip = $10000

Change the 1 million pesos into dollars, Chile = 1320000 x 0.001642 = 2167.44

Uruguay = 36000 x 0.03526 = 1269.36

Mexico = 29000 / 18.8709 = 1536.75

Dollars left at time return to U.S. = $10000 - 2167.44 - 1269.36 - 1536.75

Dollars left at time return to U.S. = 5026.45

Option D = 5026.44
