1 us dollar/.78 euros = 156 us dollars/ E euros
cross multiply: 1 * E = .78 * 156

pi.i  please shoe calculations

anonymous · Answer

cross multiply (1us dollar * E euros) = (.78 euros * 156 us dollars)
then drop the labels since they are the same on both sides
(1*E)=(.78*156)
thus E = .78 *1 56 euros, (i don't have a calculator)
