Hey there! I'm happy to help!

First, we need to convert our $250 to euros. We can see that a euro is worth 1.3687 US dollars. This means that the Euro is more valuable. So, after, converting, we will have less euros because euros are more valuable. Let's set up some useful equations to use.

$= 1.3687×€

€= $/1.3687

So, let's find our euros.

250/1.3687≈182.655

Now, we subtract 150 from this.

182.655-50=32.655

Now, we multiply to get our US dollars again.

32.655×1.3687≈44.69

Therefore, our answer is 44.70 US dollars

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
