Question

one U.S. dollar is equivilant to $1.34 dollars Canadian dollars. Write an algebraic expression the number of US dollars you get for the N Canadian dollars

Answer 1

1 US$ = 1.34 CND

1 CND = 1/1.34 US
N CND = (1/1.34)N US

(Time to get a new textbook, ever since George Bush the two dollars are just about at par)

Answer 2

To write an algebraic expression for the number of US dollars you can get for a given amount of Canadian dollars, we can use the exchange rate given: 1 US dollar = 1.34 Canadian dollars.

Let's denote the number of Canadian dollars as N. The algebraic expression for the number of US dollars you can get for N Canadian dollars can be written as:

1.34N

Here, 1.34 represents the exchange rate in terms of US dollars for every Canadian dollar, and N represents the number of Canadian dollars you have. By multiplying the exchange rate (1.34) by the number of Canadian dollars (N), you can determine the equivalent value in US dollars.
