Sagot :

To determine the correct expression for converting 80 US dollars (USD) to Australian dollars (AUD), we need to use the appropriate conversion rate between these two currencies. Given the conversion rates:

- \(1 \text{ USD} = 1.0343 \text{ AUD} \)
- \(1 \text{ AUD} = 0.9668 \text{ USD} \)

We will use the conversion rate that relates USD to AUD directly, which is:
[tex]\[1 \text{ USD} = 1.0343 \text{ AUD}\][/tex]

Here’s the step-by-step explanation:

1. Identify the correct conversion rate:
We need to convert USD to AUD, so we should directly use the rate of \(1 \text{ USD} = 1.0343 \text{ AUD}\).

2. Set up the conversion expression:
We multiply the amount in USD by the conversion factor from USD to AUD.

3. Convert 80 USD to AUD:
[tex]\[ 80 \text{ USD} \times 1.0343 \frac{\text{AUD}}{\text{USD}} \][/tex]

Thus, the expression to convert 80 USD to AUD is:
[tex]\[ 80 \text{ USD} \times \frac{1.0343 \text{ AUD}}{1 \text{ USD}} \][/tex]

Using this expression, if we calculate the conversion:
[tex]\[ 80 \text{ USD} \times 1.0343 \text{ AUD} = 82.744 \text{ AUD} \][/tex]

So, the correct expression is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{80 \text{ USD} \times \frac{1.0343 \text{ AUD}}{1 \text{ USD}}} \][/tex]
