Answer 1

Answer:

$339.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert pound sterlings into euros first, and consider that the exchange rate is 1.14.

$240 \times 1.14 = €273.6$

Now, the euros have to be converted into dollars. Consider that the exchange rate is 1.24.

$€273.6 \times 1.24 = \ 339.26 \: (2 \: d.p.)$

So Maria will get $339.26.

Hope this helped!
