Claudine traded u. s. dollars for mexican pesos at an exchange rate of 1 u. s. dollar = 12.6577 mexican pesos. she gave the exchanger a total of 2300 u. s. dollars and was charged a flat fee of 55 u. s. dollars. approximately how many mexican pesos does claudine have?

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to start by taking away $55 from the 2300. The 55 does not get exchanged.

2300 - 55 = 2245

1 US dollar = 12.6577 pesos

2245 US dollars = x                             Cross multiply

x = 12.6577 * 2245

x = 28416.54 pesos. (rounded to 2 places)

$28,416.54 Mexican pesos

Step-by-step explanation:

That $2,300 will be divided into two parts:  1) $55 fee and 2) equivalent amount in Mexican pesos:

The amount exchanged into pesos is $2,300 - $55, or $2,245.

Converting this into pesos:

$2,245      12.6577 Mex pesos

* = $28,416.54 Mexican pesos

     1                          $1

$5.41

step-by-step explanation:

$20 - $14.51 = $5.49.
