c
$97.35

d
$129.80

Answer 1

For conversion questions like this, we can set up the equation so that
75 Euros = x Dollars

Since 1 Euro =1.298 Dollars, we can convert from Euro to Dollars by simply multiplying:
75 Euros * 1.298Dollars/1 Euro = x Dollars,
and then this resolves to:
75*1.298 Dollars
