Question 14 • Financial Math

Raina is traveling to Switzerland and needs to exchange her US dollars (USD) for Swiss francs (CHF). The current exchange rate is 1 USD = 0.90 CHF, and the currency exchange service charges a 1.5% transaction fee. How many US dollars does Raina need to exchange to receive 270 CHF after the fee is applied?

Answer
A
304 point 5 7 USD
B
300 USD
C
243 USD
D
274 point 1 1 USD

Explanation

After the 1.5% fee, Raina receives 98.5% of the francs converted. If she exchanges x USD, she receives 0.90 × 0.985 × x CHF. Solving 0.90 × 0.985 × x = 270 gives x ≈ 304.57 USD, so the correct choice is 304.57 USD.
