Question 1 Report

In a particular year, the exchange rate of naira (N) varies directly with the Dollars{$}. If N1122 is equivalent to $8, find the Naira equivalent of $36
Answer Details
The exchange rate of naira (N) varies directly with the Dollars($). This means that the exchange rate is constant, and we can set up a proportion to solve the problem. If N1122 is equivalent to $8, we can write: N1122/$8 = x/$36 where x is the Naira equivalent of $36. To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify: N1122 x 36 = $8 x x 40392 = 8x x = 40392/8 = 5049 Therefore, the Naira equivalent of $36 is N5049. So, the correct option is (B) N5049.
