    (c) 133.5 yen

    Explanation:

    Today's foreign exchange rate: $1 can buy 144 yen

    If the yen depreciates by 8% tomorrow, the value of the yen would decrease by (0.08*144 = 11.52 yen)

    Therefore, tomorrow $1 could buy 132.48 yen (144 yen - 11.52 yen = 132.48 yen)

    The closest option is (c)

    The correct option is A

    Explanation:

    When a currency depreciates it means it loses its value.

    For the yen to depreciate by 8% it means that a dollar will buy more yen than it did today. by tomorrow. So, to calculate it we times the current price of the yen by the depreciation factor

    144*0.8 = 11.52

    adding the depreciation factor to the current price of the yen

    144+11.52=155.52

    so by tomorrow $1=155.5yen
