When exchanging US Dollars (USD) for Philippine Peso (PHP) the number of Philippine Pesos received is directly proportional to the number of US Dollars to be exchanged. If 1,150 USD can be converted into 35,165.85 PHP. Find the constant of proportionality k. k= (If needed, round answer to 3 decimal places.) Using the k from above find the amout of PHP given that you have 1,300 USD to convert. you will receive PHP (If needed, round answer to 2 decimal places.) Enter DNE for Does Not Exist, oo for Infinity

Answer 1

Since the number of PHP is directly proportional to the number of USD.

PHP= k *USD

We have 35165.85 PHP= k*1150 USD

So, k= 35165.85/1150

k= 30.579

So now for 1300 USD, we will have PHP= k* USD, PHP= 30.579*1300

I will receive 39752.7 PHP for 1300 USD.
