Answer:

37 and half dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Setup a proportion.

Line up the information so it is neatly categorized.

10 euros  =   15 dollars

25 euros  =   x  dollars

This tells you how to setup your proportion.

[tex]\frac{10}{25}=\frac{15}{x}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]10x=15(25)[/tex]

Simplify the right hand side:

[tex]10x=375[/tex]

Divide both sides by 10:

[tex]x=\frac{375}{10}[/tex]

Simplify right hand side:

[tex]x=37.5[/tex]

[tex]x=37.50 \text{ dollars }[/tex]
