Problem

Bob is visiting Japan and he wants to buy a coffee for yen. If one U.S. dollar is worth yen, how much money, in USD to the nearest hundredth, does he have to spend for the coffee? (You may use a calculator on this problem.)
Solution
Bob must pay yen, which we can multiply by the conversion factor to obtain the value in U.S. dollars. Carrying out the calculation, we find that Bob must use for the coffee.
Final answer
1.85\ \text{USD}
