Let x represent the cost of the bike in U.S. dollars. Let 260 be the cost of the bike in Canadian Dollars. Let 1.17/1 be the ratio of Canadian dollars to United States Dollars. Then use this equation to solve the problem:

(260/x)=(1.17/1)
After you have written this down, the first step is to cross multiply. Multiply the 260 by 1 and then multiply the x by 1.17.
Your new equation should look like this:

260=1.17x
Now you simply divide both sides of the equal signs by 1.17.
your new equation should look like this:
(260/1.17)=(1.17x/1.17)
Solve 260/1.17. Your answer should look like this:
222.22=x
Therefore, the cost of the bike in U.S. dollars is 222.22

Divide 1.17 into 260 (260/1.17). That is the answer. Hope this helped.

If you set it up like this:

$1 US/ $1.17 Canadian = ?U.S./ $260 Canadian

Mulitply the $1 (U.S.) with the $260 (Can.) and divide by $1.17(Can)


It will equal= $222.22 (U.S.)
