x/5.3 = 42.7/11.1

11.1x = 42.7 * 5.3

Can you calculate it from here?

I hope this helps.

To find out how many dollars Asanji received when he converted 42.7 pesos, we need to use the given exchange rate of $5.30 = 11.1 pesos.

First, we'll find out how much 1 peso is worth in dollars by dividing 5.30 dollars by 11.1 pesos:

1 peso = $5.30 / 11.1 pesos ≈ $0.477

Next, we'll multiply this value by the number of pesos Asanji wants to convert:

42.7 pesos × $0.477 ≈ $20.42

Therefore, Asanji received approximately $20.42 when he converted 42.7 pesos back into dollars.
