Question

Maurice is traveling to Mexico and needs to exchange $370 into Mexico pesos. If each dollar is worth 12.29 pesos. How many peso will he get for his trip ?

Answer 1

Answer: 4547.30 pesos

Explanation:

You can set up proportion

`(x)/(370)=(12.29)/(1)` as long as you put pesos on top and dollars on bottom to set up proportion

now solve for x

x=12.29(370)= 4547.30 pesos

or

you can think of it as if you have 1 dollar and that is 12.29 pesos then 370 dollars would be 370x12.29

=4547.30
