Omar changes 2000 Saudi Arabian riyals (SAR) into euros (€) when the exchange rate is €1 = 5.087 SAR. Work out how much Omar receives, giving your answer correct to the nearest euro.



Answer :

Sure, let's solve the problem step-by-step.

1. Understand the Exchange Rate:
The exchange rate given is €1 = 5.087 SAR. This means 1 euro can be exchanged for 5.087 Saudi Arabian riyals.

2. Identify the Amount to be Converted:
Omar wants to change 2000 SAR into euros.

3. Convert SAR to Euros:
To find out how many euros Omar will receive, we need to divide the amount of SAR by the exchange rate.
[tex]\[ 2000 \text{ SAR} \div 5.087 \text{ SAR/euro} \][/tex]

Perform the division to get the amount in euros:
[tex]\[ 2000 \div 5.087 \approx 393.148 \][/tex]

4. Round to the Nearest Euro:
The problem asks for the amount in euros, rounded to the nearest euro. Thus, we round 393.148 to the nearest whole number:
[tex]\[ 393.148 \approx 393 \][/tex]

Therefore, Omar receives 393 euros after converting 2000 Saudi Arabian riyals at the given exchange rate, rounded to the nearest euro.
