Question: You are an international shrimp trader. A food producer in the Czech Republic offers to pay you $2.3$ million Czech koruna today in exchange for a year's supply of frozen shrimp. Your Thai supplier will provide you with the same supply for $2.9$ million Thai baht today. If the current competitive market exchange rates are $25.73$ koruna per dollar and $41.41$ baht per dollar, what is the value of this exchange to you?
1. **State the problem:**
You want to find the cost of shrimp from the Thai supplier in dollars, given the supplier charges $2.9$ million Thai baht and the exchange rate is $41.41$ baht per dollar.
2. **Formula used:**
To convert from baht to dollars, use the formula:
$$\text{Cost in dollars} = \frac{\text{Cost in baht}}{\text{Baht per dollar}}$$
3. **Apply the formula:**
$$\text{Cost in dollars} = \frac{2,900,000}{41.41}$$
4. **Calculate the value:**
$$\frac{2,900,000}{41.41} \approx 70024.15$$
5. **Round to the nearest cent:**
The cost of the shrimp from the Thai supplier in dollars is approximately $70024.15$.
**Note:** The user provided $19358.42$ which seems incorrect based on the given data. The correct calculation is shown above.
