Evan is on holidays in Beijing, China. He took a taxi from the airport to his hotel. It cost him 375 Chinese yuan. He went $15 AUD over his travel budget on the taxi ride. How much Chinese yuan does Evan get for every Australian dollar if he budgeted $60 for the taxi ride?

This question is solved using proportions, and doing this, it is found that Evan gets 5 Chinese yuans for every Australian dollar.
