Answer:
US$ 932 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Exchange Rate: US$ 1 = S$ 1.78 .
US$ 2200 = S$ 1.78 X 2200 (Multiply by 2200) .
US$ 2200 = S$ 3916 .
Remaining money after he spent S$ 2285 =
S$ 3916 - S$ 2285 = S$1631 .
New Exchange Rate: US$ 1 = S$ 1.75 .
S$ 1 = US$ 1/1.75 .
S$ 1631 = US$ (1/1.75) X S$1631 .
S$1631 =US$ 932 .
