“Travelling in Mexico is much cheaper now than it was ten years ago,’’ says a friend. “Ten years ago, a dollar bought 10 pesos; this year, a dollar buys 15 pesos.’’ Is your friend right or wrong?

Write your answer using a concrete example—such as a Canadian hotdog versus a Mexican taco—that will convince your friend.
