A Nairobi importer pays USD 800 for goods when the exchange rate is KSh 132 per US dollar. How much is this in Kenya shillings?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. KSh 105,600

  1. Step 1: Shillings = dollars x rate. Step 2. = 800 x 132 = KSh 105,600. Answer: KSh 105,600. Why not the others: KSh 6.06: That divides dollars by the rate instead of multiplying. KSh 932: That adds the two numbers. KSh 0.17: That divides the rate by the dollars.
