A Nairobi importer pays USD 90 for goods when the exchange rate is KSh 150 per US dollar. How much is this in Kenya shillings?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. KSh 13,500

  1. Step 1: Shillings = dollars x rate. Step 2. = 90 x 150 = KSh 13,500. Answer: KSh 13,500. Why not the others: KSh 0.6: That divides dollars by the rate instead of multiplying. KSh 240: That adds the two numbers. KSh 1.67: That divides the rate by the dollars.
