An American traveler who is heading to Europe is exchanging some U.S. dollars for European euros. At the time of his travel, 1 dollar can be exchanged for 0.91 euros.
Find the amount of money in euros that the American traveler would get if he exchanged 100 dollars.
What if he exchanged 500 dollars?
Write an equation that gives the amount of money in euros, , as a function of the dollar amount being exchanged, .
Upon returning to America, the traveler has 42 euros to exchange back into U.S. dollars. How many dollars would he get if the exchange rate is still the same?
Write an equation that gives the amount of money in dollars, , as a function of the euro amount being exchanged, .
A random sample of people are asked to give a taste score—either "low" or "high"—to two different types of ice cream. The two types of ice cream have identical formulas, except they differ in the percentage of sugar in the ice cream. What values could be used to complete the table below so that it suggests there is an association between taste score and percentage of sugar? Explain your reasoning.
