Question

48 pesos per kilogram. What is the cost, in cents, of an avocado that weighs 0.65 lb if the exchange rate is 11.9 pesos to the dollar?

Answer 1

Cost of 0.65 lb of avocados is 119 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 kilograms of avocados = 48 pesos

1 $= 11.9 pessos

48 pessos =
`\$ (48)/(11.9)=\$4.03`

Cost of 1 kilograms of avocados =$4.03

Cost of 0.65 lb of avocados = M

1 kg= 2.205 lb

0.65 lb =
`(0.65)/(2.205 )kg=0.2948 kg`

`M = \$4.03* 0.2948=\$1.19`

$1 = 100 cents

$1.19 =1.19 × 100 cents= 119 cents

Cost of 0.65 lb of avocados is 119 cents.
