Answer 1

4916

Explanation:

we are asked to convert 400 US dollars into Mexico pesos, given that 1 US dollars is equal ti 12.29 Mexico pesos. Let P represent the unknown quantity, in Mexico peso, we can set up a proportion, in pesos per dollars:

`(p)/(400) =(12.29)/(1)`

multiplying both sides by 400 and simplifying, we have

`400((P)/(400))=400(12.29)\\p=4,916.00\\`

so 400 US dollars can be exchanged for 4,916 Mexican pesos

Answer 2

5530.50 pesos
