Question

Elizabeth is returning to the United States from Canada. She changes the remaining 300 Canadian dollars she has to $250 US dollars. What was $1 US dollar worth in Canadian dollars?

Answer 1

1.20 Canadian Dollars

Explanation:

Use cross multiplication to solve for this.

`(300)/(250) =(x)/(1)`

Keep Canadian dollars on top and the USD on the bottom.

So you will have:

300(1)/250 = 1.20
