You just returned from some extensive traveling throughout the Americas. You started your trip with $10,000 in your pocket. You spent 1.4 million pesos while in Chile. You spent another 40,000 bolivars in Venezuela. Then on the way home, you spent 34,000 pesos in Mexico. How many dollars did you have left by the time you returned to the U.S. given the following exchange rates?

$3,887

$4,039

$4,117

$4,244

$4,299

Explanation / Answer

USD spent inChile = pesos spent /conversion rate = 1400000/633.31 = 2210.607

USD spent in venezuela = Bolivars spent*USD equivalent = 40000*0.0882 = 3528

USD spent in Mexico = pesos spent/conversion rate = 34000/1919.39 = 17.7139

Amount left = 10000 - 2210.607-3528-17.7139 = 4243.679 = 4244
