Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate value in dollars for (a)
We know 1 rand = 0.12 dollars. To find the value of 184.04 rand in dollars, we multiply the number of rand by the exchange - rate. So, $184.04\times0.12$. $184.04\times0.12 = 22.0848\approx22.08$ (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Step2: Calculate value in rand for (b)
If 1 rand = 0.12 dollars, then 1 dollar=$\frac{1}{0.12}$ rand. To find the value of 29.11 dollars in rand, we multiply 29.11 by $\frac{1}{0.12}$. So, $29.11\div0.12=\frac{29.11}{0.12}\approx242.5833\approx242.58$ (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Answer:
(a) 22.08 dollars (b) 242.58 rand
