Answer:
140 Dirhams
Step-by-step explanation:
this can be set up as a ratio: [tex]\frac{1 LE}{0.52 dirham}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{300LE}{xdirham}[/tex]
we need to find x to know exactly how much 300 LE is in dirhams, though it DOES NOT give us our final answer as it doesn't account for the fact that currency is considered as multiples of 20 (we will figure it out tho, just later).
cross multiply:
x LE*dirham = 156 LE*dirham
x dirham = 156 dirham (divide both sides by 1 LE)
x = 156!
now this is the actual value, now we have to consider the whole "multiples of 20" that means that the currency value is valued at a multiple of 20.
140 or 20*7 is a multiple of 20 and so it 160 or 20*8, but since 156 is less than 160, we round down the exchanged value from 156 to 140 dirhams, our final answer
lmk if u got any Qs
