Answer 1

Option (C) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of a basketball = $170

A potential buyer contacts you and offers to pay you$170 Canadian dollars.

Exchange rate between the U.S and Canada is as follows:

$1 U.S = $1.25 Canadian

So,

Worth of $170 U.S in terms of Canadian dollar is as follows:

= $1.25 × $170

= $212.5 Canadian dollars

If you take this deal, you will have returned Steve to his homeland and Earned less than if you accept $170 U.S.

Because, the worth of $170 U.S dollars is $212.5 Canadian dollars. Hence, there is a loss of $42.5 Canadian dollars if he will accept the deal.

So, it is better for him to accept $170 U.S dollars.
