the math here does not pass the common sense test. 1 US dollar = to 1.65 Francs. As there are more francs to the dollar, the equivalent number of Francs must be greater than dollars. Therefore, the appropriate math should be:

1 US Dollar / 1.65 Swiss Francs = 750 US Dollars / X Swiss Francs

X = 1.65 * 750

1237.50 Swiss Francs.

The correct answer is therefore D.
