To solve this problem, we'll follow a series of steps to determine how many yen Kelvin can buy with \[tex]$200 using the given exchange rate of 124.37 yen per US dollar.
1. Identify the given data:
- Amount of US dollars: \$[/tex]200
- Exchange rate (yen per US dollar): 124.37
2. Calculate the value of yen Kelvin can buy:
To find out the amount of yen, we multiply the amount in US dollars by the exchange rate.
[tex]\[
\text{Amount in yen} = \text{Amount in US dollars} \times \text{Exchange rate}
\][/tex]
Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[
\text{Amount in yen} = 200 \times 124.37
\][/tex]
3. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[
200 \times 124.37 = 24,874.00
\][/tex]
So, Kelvin can buy 24,874.00 yen with \[tex]$200.
4. Compare the calculated amount with the given choices:
- A. 1,800.00 yen
- B. 8,234.00 yen
- C. 13,086.09 yen
- D. 24,874.00 yen
From the computation, the correct answer is:
- D. 24,874.00 yen
Thus, with \$[/tex]200, Kelvin can buy 24,874.00 yen.
