While traveling to europe, phelan exchanged 250 us dollars for euros. he spent 150 euros on his trip. after returning to the united states he converts his money back to us dollars. how much of the original 250 us dollars does phelan now have?

1 european euro = 1.3687 us dollars

For this case we make a rule of three to determine the initial amount of euros:
