the answer is 130.66

Respuesta :

Answer:

We know that 1 USD equals 1.31 CAD. If Mitchell exchanges 150 USD, how much CAD would be?

[tex]150 \ USD\frac{1.31 \ CAD}{1 \ USD}=196.5 \ CAD[/tex]

Then, he spends 20 CAD, so he return to the US with 176.50 CAD. How much USD would he have?

[tex]176.50 \ CAD \frac{1 \ USD}{1.31 \ CAD}= 134.73\ USD[/tex]

Therefore, Mitchell would have 134.70 USD.

Going by current exchange rates, Mitchell has $134.13 dollars remaining.

The current exchange rate of Canadian dollars to US dollars is:

CAD $ 1.26 : 1 USD

When Mitchell first exchanged the USD to CAD$, it became:

= 150 x 1.26

= CAD$ 189

He then spends CAD$ 20 which leaves him with:

= 189 - 20

= CAD$ 169

He then exchanges this back to US$:

= 169 / 1.26

= US$ 134.13

Mitchell has US$ 134.13 remaining.
