In traveling to Greece Jim found the exchange rate to be 148 drachma equal to one American dollar. He bought 3 of the same prices items and spent almost $10 American. What was the maximum amount of drachmas for each item?

148 drachma is 1 dollar

?? drachma is 10 dollars

would you get 1480 drachma

Then just divide by the 3 items to get the max per item.
