Traveling In Canada Part 2

After spending a week with our friends, it was time to head back to the US. Before we left, we had to get some gas for the car. We picked the best price in town, and filled up the tank.

The best price we found was 98.6¢ for one liter. That is in Canadian dollars (or cents to be exact). After we crossed the border and got lost for a while due to inaccurate directions, it was time to fill up the tank again, in the state of New York. The best price we could find was $3.37 for a gallon. That is US dollars.

Your job is to figure out whether gas was cheaper in Canada or in the US?
Here is some additional information to help you:
$1.00 CAN = $ .80 US
1 gallon = 3.8 liters

Wedding Bells

On December 22 Mr. Billett and I attended a party to celebrate our friend Tom and Lisa's marriage. Tom and Lisa live in Switzerland, where she works for the World Health Organization as a nutritionist. We bought them a gift card for $100. Your job is to find out how much this gift is worth in Switzerland, in Swiss Francs. You can use Yahoo Finance to find the exchange rate.
