Respuesta :

Answer:

The trip to Colombia is priced less at $1,497.07.

Explanation:

Using the following spot inter-bank market on November 1, 2019,

1 USD = 3339.85 COP  (Colombian Pesos) and

1 USD = 1.4455 AUD (Australian Dollars

5,000 Australian Dollars on that day would be equivalent to

= [tex]\frac{5000}{1.4455}[/tex]

= $3,459.01

5,000,000 Colombian Pesos on that day would be equivalent to

= [tex]\frac{5000000}{3339.85}[/tex]

= $1,497.07

Considering the U.S Dollars equivalent of both cost, the trip to Colombia is priced less at $1,497.07.
