Question 1038116: Anna is a student who frequently uses her American debit card to make purchases when traveling abroad. When she makes a purchase, the bank converts the purchase price at a daily foreign exchange rate and than charges a 3% fee on the converted price.
Anna also converts cash from one currency to another at her bank. To convert cash into a different currency, her bank uses the daily foreign exchange rates and charges a 2.5% fee on the converted cost.

Before her trip, Anna asked her bank to convert $100 U.S dollars into Mexican pesos.
