Math Word Problem? |
Bob wants to get Matt the sweetest bike possible. Bob calls the best stores and they tell him that he can get the best bike from a store in Canada. The bike will cost Bob $260 Canadian. What will this cost in US dollars if the exchange rate is $1 US dollar equals $1.17 Canadian? Let x represent the cost of the bike in U.S. dollars. Let 260 be the cost of the bike in Canadian Dollars. Let 1.17/1 be the ratio of Canadian dollars to United States Dollars. Then use this equation to solve the problem: (260/x)=(1.17/1) After you have written this down, the first step is to cross multiply. Multiply the 260 by 1 and then multiply the x by 1.17. Your new equation should look like this: 260=1.17x Now you simply divide both sides of the equal signs by 1.17. your new equation should look like this: (260/1.17)=(1.17x/1.17) Solve 260/1.17. Your answer should look like this: 222.22=x Therefore, the cost of the bike in U.S. dollars is 222.22 About $222 $222 If you set it up like this: $1 US/ $1.17 Canadian = ?U.S./ $260 Canadian Mulitply the $1 (U.S.) with the $260 (Can.) and divide by $1.17(Can) It will equal= $222.22 (U.S.) 260/1.17=222.22222222222222222... Divide 1.17 into 260 (260/1.17). That is the answer. Hope this helped. $260 divided by $1.17 = $222.22 U.S. |
