Answer:

6,174

Step-by-step explanation:

in total we have 20,160 rand.

3/10 of that is =  6048.

6048 rand is euros.

we now have a remaining 14,112 rand.

the rest of the rands is split up into 9:5:2

to find out how much one part equals we add 9, 5 and 2 together.

9 + 5 + 2 = 16.

We then divide the remaining 14,112 rand by 16 to find out one part.

14,112 / 16 = 882.

1 part = 882.

(dollars) 9 parts = 882 x 9 = 7,938 rand

(rupees) 5 parts = 882 x 5 = 4,410 rand

(francs) 2 parts = 882 x 2 = 1,764 rand

to find out how many more rands pieter changed into dollars than he changed into francs we need to minus 1,764 from 7,938.

7, 938 - 1,764 = 6,174

Pieter changed 6,174 more rands into dollars than francs.

Hope this helped :)
