At a currency exchange booth, $4$ US dollars (USD) can be exchanged for $5$ local credits, and $6$ local credits can be exchanged for $15$ reward coupons. Based on these rates, what is the total number of reward coupons that can be obtained in exchange for $24$ USD?

Cevap: 75 coupons

Cevap

To find the number of reward coupons obtained from

24

USD, we perform a two-step rate conversion. First, convert USD to local credits:

24\text{ USD} \times \frac{5\text{ local credits}}{4\text{ USD}} = 30\text{ local credits}

. Second, convert local credits to reward coupons:

30\text{ local credits} \times \frac{15\text{ coupons}}{6\text{ local credits}} = 75\text{ coupons}

. Thus, the final value is

75
