Question 1123279: Suppose 500 Hong Kong Dollars can be exchanged for 64.5 United States Dollars and 25 United States Dollars can be exchanged for 16 Great Britain Pounds. How many Great British Pounds can be exchanged for HKD 1250?
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
HKD/USD = 500/64.5
USD/GBP = 25/16
��-
USD = ( 25/16 )GBP
And
HKD = ( 500/64.5 )USD
By substitution:
HKD = ( 500/64.5 )x( 25/16 )GBP
1250 HKD = ( 1250x500x25 ) / ( 64.5x16 ) GBP
1250 HKD = 15625000 / 1032 GBP
1250 HKD = 15140.50 GBP
