Answer 1

Given:

Worth of one South African rand on March 8, 2017, = 0.08 U.S dollars

Let's solve for the following:

• (a). On that date, how many rand was 29.11 dollars worth?

To find the worth of 29.11 dollars on that day, we have:

$\begin{gathered} 29.11*\frac{1\text{ rand}}{0.08} \\ \\ \frac{29.11}{0.08}=363.88 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the worth of 29.11 dollars was 363.88 Rand.

• (b). On that date, how many dollars was 191.77 rand worth?

We have:

$\begin{gathered} 191.77*\frac{0.08\text{ dollars}}{1\text{ rand}} \\ \\ 191.77*0.08 \\ \\ =15.34\text{ dollars} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, 191.77 rand was worth 15.34 dollars on that day.

ANSWER:

• (a). 363.88 Rand

• (b). 15.34 dollars
