1. How much is $100 in ZA rands

Answer 1

Given:

• 1 US Dollar= R17

To find:

How much is $100 in ZA rands.

Solution:

Let the unknown be "x"

`(1)/(17)×(100)/(x)`

We'll have to do cross multiplication.

So we'll have to multiply 100 and 17.

`100×17`

`\huge\boxed{= 1700 \: ZA \: rands}`

Therefore, $100 is 1700 ZA rands.
