Respuesta :

The answer is A: $405.58

460 times .8817 = 405.582

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cecilia traveled to Canada and bought a new lamp.

She paid for the lamp = 460 Canadian dollars

1 Canadian dollars = 0.887 U.S. dollar

So we will multiply 460 Canadian dollars to the value of a Canadian dollars in U.S.

The same lamp cost in the United States = 460 × 0.887

                                                                    = 405.582 ≈ 405.58

The cost of the same lamp in United States would be $405.58.

Option A. is the answer.
