Using proportions, it is found that the consultant's salary in dollars per month is of $9,681.67.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

A business based in South Africa pays a consultant in the U.S. 1,570,000 rand per year. Considering the conversion rate, his salary in dollars per year is given as follows:

S = 1570000 x 0.074 = $116,180.

Since a year has 12 months, his salary in dollars per month is given by:

Sm = $116,180/12 = $9,681.67.
