To find the cost of the watch in Swiss francs, we can multiply the cost of the watch in U.S. dollars by the conversion rate from U.S. dollars to Swiss francs.
Given information:
Cost of the watch in U.S. dollars: $48
Conversion rate: 1 U.S. dollar = 1.02 Swiss francs
To find the cost of the watch in Swiss francs:
Cost in Swiss francs = Cost in U.S. dollars × Conversion rate
Substituting the given values:
Cost in Swiss francs = $48 × 1.02 Swiss francs/1 U.S. dollar
Calculating the final result:
Cost in Swiss francs = $48 × 1.02 Swiss francs/1 U.S. dollar
Cost in Swiss francs = $48 × 1.02 Swiss francs = $48.96 Swiss francs
Therefore, the cost of the watch in Swiss francs is 48.96 Swiss francs.

To determine if Scott has enough money to buy the battery, we need to compare the cost of the battery in U.S. dollars with the amount of money Scott has remaining in Swiss francs.
Given information:
Cost of the battery in U.S. dollars: $10
Amount of money Scott has remaining in Swiss francs: 10.20 Swiss francs
To compare the cost of the battery in U.S. dollars with the money Scott has remaining in Swiss francs, we need to convert the cost of the battery to Swiss francs.
Using the same conversion rate as before (1 U.S. dollar = 1.02 Swiss francs), we can convert the cost of the battery in U.S. dollars to Swiss francs.
Cost of the battery in Swiss francs = Cost of the battery in U.S. dollars × Conversion rate
Substituting the given values:
Cost of the battery in Swiss francs = $10 × 1.02 Swiss francs/1 U.S. dollar
Calculating the final result:
Cost of the battery in Swiss francs = $10 × 1.02 Swiss francs = $10.20 Swiss francs
Since Scott has exactly 10.20 Swiss francs remaining, he has exactly enough money to buy the battery, which costs 10.20 Swiss francs.
Therefore, Scott has enough money to buy the battery.
