Q. Lilia wants to exchange US dollars for Euros before traveling to France. Her bank offers her an exchange rate of 11 US dollar to 0.840.84 Euros. Approximately how many US dollars does Lilia need to exchange if she wants to receive 350350 Euros from her bank?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 266266\newline(B) 294294\newline(C) 417417\newline(D) 434434
  1. Understand exchange rate: Understand the exchange rate and what is being asked.\newlineLilia wants to exchange US dollars for Euros. The exchange rate is 11 US dollar to 0.840.84 Euros. She wants to receive 350350 Euros. We need to calculate how many US dollars she needs to exchange to get 350350 Euros.
  2. Set up equation: Set up the equation to find out how many US dollars Lilia needs.\newlineIf 11 US dollar equals 0.840.84 Euros, then we can set up the equation as follows:\newline1 US dollar0.84 Euros=X US dollars350 Euros\frac{1 \text{ US dollar}}{0.84 \text{ Euros}} = \frac{X \text{ US dollars}}{350 \text{ Euros}}\newlineWe need to solve for XX, which represents the amount in US dollars that Lilia needs to exchange.
  3. Solve for X: Solve for X by cross-multiplying to find the number of US dollars.\newlineXX US dollars * 0.840.84 Euros = 11 US dollar * 350350 Euros\newlineX = (\(1 * 350350) / 00.8484\)\newlineX=350/0.84X = 350 / 0.84
  4. Calculate value of X: Calculate the value of XX.X=3500.84X = \frac{350}{0.84}X416.6667X \approx 416.6667
  5. Round to nearest whole number: Round the number to the nearest whole number since we are dealing with currency and cannot have a fraction of a dollar. X417X \approx 417
