To calculate the amount spent in each country in U.S. dollars, we use the given exchange rates. For Chile: $1,400,000 \, \text{pesos} \div 633.31 = \$2,211.06$. For Venezuela, since the exchange rate is not given directly, we cannot calculate the exact amount spent in U.S. dollars without additional information. For Mexico: $34,000 \, \text{pesos} \div 1919.39 = \$17.71$. Without the Venezuelan conversion, we cannot accurately determine the total amount spent or the remaining dollars. However, given the options and the information provided, it seems there might be a misunderstanding in the question or a mistake in the calculation process, as we cannot proceed accurately without the Venezuelan exchange rate or assuming a typo in the question. The correct approach involves converting each currency amount spent back to U.S. dollars using the provided exchange rates or the missing information, then subtracting the total spent from the initial $10,000.
