How many Reals are in 215 Pesos? (1 Peso = $0.08; 1 Real = $0.55)

Answer 1

∵ 1 peso = $ 0.08
∴ 215 pesos = $ 0.08 × 215 = $ 17.2

Let number of reals = x
∵ 1 real = $ 0.55
∴ x reals = $ 0.55x

Now, money of reals = money of pesos
⇒ $ 0.55x = $ 17.2
⇒ x = 17.2/0.55 = 31.27 ≈ 31

Hence, number of reals = 31
