How much money does it take?



This family is living without electricty in their home. Mrs. Gentzsch told me that it would cost about 2,500 Quetzals to hook up their electiricty. I looked on-line line, and found that 100 Quetzals = $11.94 US dollars. How many US dollars would it take to turn on the electrity in this home?

  2. It will take 2,500 Quetzals to hook up the electricity, and 100 Quetzals= $11.94 US.
    100x25=2,500
    11.94x25=298.5

    It will take $298.50 US to be able to hook up the electricity.
