Question

if one € (euro) = 1.3612 US dollars, how many € can you get for $400 USD? (round two decimal places as needed)

Answer 1

We have

One euro = 1.3612 USD

x euros = 400 USD

Then:

$1.3612\times x=400\times1$

And solve for x

$\begin{gathered} 1.3612x=400 \\ \frac{1.3612x}{1.3612}=\frac{400}{1.3612} \\ x=293.86 \end{gathered}$

Answer: 293.86 euros
