Answer :

Final answer:

One pound can buy 192 yens given the exchange rates of 1 dollar = 120 yen and 1 pound = 1.6 dollars.

Explanation:

The question asks us to convert British pounds to Japanese yen using given exchange rates. We have the following rates: 1 dollar = 120 yen and 1 pound = 1.6 dollars.

To find out how many yens one pound can buy, we need to perform two steps:

  1. Convert pounds to dollars: 1 pound × 1.6 dollars/pound = 1.6 dollars.
  2. Convert the result from dollars to yen: 1.6 dollars × 120 yen/dollar = 192 yen.

Therefore, one pound can buy 192 yens, which is option d.
