Question

While traveling to Europe, Phelan exchanged 250 US dollars for euros. He spent 150 euros on his trip. After returning to the United States he converts his money back to US dollars. How much of the original 250 US dollars does Phelan now have?

1 European euro = 1.3687 US dollars

Answer 1

First, we convert 250 US dollars to euros. Let's use the conversion that 1 euro = 1.3687 us dollars.

250/1.3687 = 182.655 euros

Then, we subtract from this his expenses.

182.655 - 150 = 32.655 euros

Then, let's convert this back to us dollars using the conversion:

32.655 euros * 1.3687 = 44,695 us dollars

Therefore, the answer is 44.70 us dollars.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. 44.70 US dollars

For solving this question first we will convert the USD to euros.

The conversion rate we have is:

1 euro = 1.3687 USD

250/1.3687 = 182.655 euros

Now we we will subtract it from what he has spent:

182.655 - 150

= 32.655 euros

Now we will again convert it back to USD

32.655 euros * 1.3687 = 44,695 us dollars

So the Answer is 44.70
