To calculate the dollar price of the Japanese toy, we need to convert the yen price of the toy to dollars. To do this, we need to multiply the yen price by the exchange rate (the number of yen per dollar). Therefore, the correct calculation is 40 yen × 0.2 = 8 dollars. Option A is incorrect because it gives the result in yen instead of dollars. Option B is incorrect because it divides the yen price by the exchange rate, which gives the result in dollars, but the calculation is inverted. Option D is incorrect because it multiplies the yen price by the reciprocal of the exchange rate, which gives the result in dollars, but the calculation is inverted.
