A computer part costs 200 TPA in Techtopia, and the same part costs 1,000 CSW in Crosswater. Figure out how much USD you need to buy the part from each country: 200 TPA = USD 1,000 CSW = USD

Now answer the question: Should you travel to Techtopia or to Crosswater to buy the part? Explain your answer and show your work.

It would be cheaper to buy from Crosswater.

Explanation:

Travelers need to exchange money when entering said country since they use different currency, So the traveler will need to trade in $3 U.S dollars for $50 CSW dollars.

$100 U.S * $20 CSW = $2000 CSW

$100 U.S * $1 = $100 TPA

100 TPA = $100 USD  1,000 CSW = $50 USD

With this, It would be cheaper to buy from Crosswater. While Techtopia is more expensive in USD with $100, Crosswater's part is only $50 USD.
