An expense of €1175, at an exchange rate of $1.00 : €0.7515, would total $1564. The total expenses were (€275 x 3) + (€37.58 x 4) + (€50 x 4), with the final sum being €1175.32. If the exchange rate was $1.00 : €0.7515, then €1175.32 is 75.15% of the total expense in U.S. dollars. Cross-multiply €1175.32 to find the dollar value of the expense. (€1175.32 x 100) ÷ 75.15 = $1563.97.
