Let’s Plan Our Weekend!

Going to the Swap Meet

Fernando R.My Weekend activity is to go to the swap meet and spend

the 100$ i have received. So im gonna go with my family with the 100$ to see what necessary things i could buy with that money. We’ll also see the price of things so we don’t buy expensive things. Lastly, we might wanna say that there would be some things we won’t actually need a lot.

List Of Items PurchasedName of item Cost per item Number of Items

Popcorn and Ice Cream. 5$ and 3$ 2 8$ = 120 Peso’s

Marbles 52( 1bag=10

marbles. 10$ = 150 Peso’s

Pants 13$ 1 13$ = 195 Peso’s

Conversions To Foreign Currency

How did i changed each of the costs to foreign currency? All I had to do is to use a foreign calculator and changed it to Mexican pesos and the amount of money is shown. My math steps were just to use the calculator and receive the answer. I chose this currency(Pesos)because i thought It’d be interesting to see how much money from America is to Mexican money.

ReflectionI don’t think people from Mexico would do exactly

the same activities as we do. Why wouldn’t they? Because people in mexico have kinda of less money than we do, plus they might have things over there more expensive than here(United States). Also over in Mexico, 100$ is kinda the same as here, but over there like said things are very expensive there.
