Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

SGD / USD  *  USD / AUD  =  SGD/AUD

Now put in the numbers :

1 /.74  * .71 / 1  =  71/74  SGD /AUD

    THEN just flip it:    74/71 AUD/SGD  = 1.042  AUD/SGD

25000 AUD  * 71/74 SGD/AUD = 23986 SGD  

Answer:

(a) 1 AUD = 0.959 SGD

(b) 25,000 AUD = 23,986 SGD

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following exchange rates

0.74 USD = 1 SGD

This means
[tex]1 $ USD = $ \dfrac{1}{0.74} $ SGD (divide both sides by 0.74)[/tex]

0.71 USD = 1 AUD

[tex]1 $ USD = $ \dfrac{1}{0.71} $ AUD (divide both sides by 0.71)[/tex]

(a)

Therefore

[tex]1 $ USD = $ \dfrac{1}{0.74} $ SGD = \dfrac{1}{0.71} $ AUD[/tex]
or

[tex]\dfrac{1}{0.74} $ SGD = \dfrac{1}{0.71} $ AUD[/tex]

Switch sides:
[tex]\dfrac{1}{0.71} $ AUD = \dfrac{1}{0.74} $ SGD[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by 0.71 gives
[tex]1 $ AUD = \dfrac{1}{0.74} \cdot 0.71 = \dfrac{0.71}{0.74} = 0.959 $ SGD[/tex]

(b) If the remittance is 25,000 AUD then the amount in SGD = 25,000 x 0.959 = 23,986 SGD
