1.00 us dollar= 110.565 japanese yen

kendra will exchange her remaining yen for us dollars. how much money in us dollars will she receive?

1 answer

first: $300US = 300x0.821774= 246.53euro.

she spent 100euro, so she had 146.53 euro left going to Japan.

then you can change 146.53 euro back to US dollar. 146.53 euro = (146.53/0.821774)=178.31US dollar

then change US dollar to Yen, therefore

173.31 US= 173.31 x (110.565)= 19162.02 yen

she spent 10,000yen, she will have 9,162.02yen left.

after that you can change 9,162.02yen back to US dollar

good luck
