Answer:
$416.67
Step-by-step explanation:
The conversion rate is 1 dollar to every 0.6 euros.
This gives us the ratio 1/0.6.
Setting up the ratio for the cost of the ring, we have x/250. This gives us the proportion:
1/0.6 = x/250
Cross multiplying,
1(250) = 0.6(x)
250 = 0.6x
Divide both sides by 0.6:
250/0.6 = 0.6x/0.6
416.67 = x
Liza should pay 416.67 U.S. dollars to Marie.
Given that,
Liza's cousin Marie bought her a ring for 250 euros in France.
Liza wants to pay Marie for it in U.S. dollars.
If the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and euro is 1:0.6.
We have to determine,
How much should Liza pay Marie?
According to the question,
The exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and euro is given as;
Exchange rate = 1:0.6
Then,
[tex]= \rm \dfrac{1 \ U.S. \ dollar}{1 \ euro}\\\\= 0.6[/tex]
Cross-multiplying both sides,
[tex]\rm 1 \times 1 \ U.S.\ dollar = 0.6 \times 1 \ euro\\\\1 \ U.S. \ dollar = 0.6 \ euro[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 10,
[tex]= \rm 10 \ U.S. \ dollar = 0.6 \times 10 \ euro\\\\= 10 \ U.S.\ dollar = 6 \euro[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 6,
[tex]\rm \dfrac{10 \ U.S. \ dollar}{6} = \dfrac{6 euro}{6}\\\\ \dfrac{10}{6} \ U.S. \ dollar = 1 \ euro\\\\ 1 \ euro = \dfrac{10}{6}\ U.S. \ dollar[/tex]
Therefore,
The ring was bought for 250 euros is,
[tex]\rm 250 \times 1 \ euro = 250 \times \dfrac{10}{6} \ U.S. \ dollar\\\\ 250 \ euro = 416.67 \ U.S. \ dollar[/tex]
Hence, Liza should pay 416.67 U.S. dollars to Marie.
