Question

Asanji was planning a trip to South Africa before going he did some research and learned that the exchange rate is $5.20= 7.4 rand how much rand would he get if he exchanged $19.50

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of rand he will collect when $19.50 was exchanged to rand is;

$27.75\text{ rands}$

Explanation:

Given that the exchange rate is $5.20= 7.4 rand;

$\begin{gathered} \text{ \ 5.20 }\rightarrow\text{ 7.4 rands} \\ \text{ \ 1 }\rightarrow\frac{7.4}{5.2}\text{ rands} \end{gathered}$

So, for $19.50, we have;

$\begin{gathered} \text{ \ 19.50 }\rightarrow\frac{7.4}{5.2}\times19.50\text{ rands} \\ \text{ \ 19.50 }\rightarrow27.75\text{ rands} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the amount of rand he will collect when $19.50 was exchanged to rand is;

$27.75\text{ rands}$
