Exercise 7 Page 611

Create a proportion, and then use cross products.

210 euros

We are given that 63 euros are equivalent to 90 United States dollars. To determine how many euros Jane will receive if she exchanges 300 dollars, we will create a proportion. Let's use the fact that the ratio of euros to dollars is constant. Let x be the amount of euros. The amount of euros/The amount of dollars=63/90=x/300 We will solve the above proportion using the Cross Products Property.
63/90=x/300
63*300=90* x
18900=90x
210=x
x=210
Jane will receive 210 euros.
