You are going on
a trip. Oh, the places you’ll go and
the people you’ll see!!
But first—how
much money will you need??
You will be traveling overseas and
must determine how much the United States dollar is worth in other
countries. This will help you plan how
much cash to take with you on your trip.
Keep in mind that these prices are estimates 
as
the exchange rate can change based on current economic situations. In many
countries in Europe, the Euro has replaced the traditional form of currency.
Other countries share the same form of currency. In these instances, you’ll
need to tell me what country you are planning to visit. Experiment with
different countries to see the differences in value. Also, please tell me the
name of the former currency replaced by the Euro for the countries in the table
below.
Determine the current exchange rate for the following amounts of United States dollars.
