Fred Nappa is planning to take a wine-tasting tour through Italy this summer. The tour will cost 2,750 euros (€) and includes transportation, hotels, and a guide. Fred estimates that round-trip airfare from his home in North Carolina to Rome, Italy, will be $1,490; he also will incur another $300 (U.S.) in incidental travel expenses. Fred estimates the cost of meals in Italy to be about € 500, and he will take an additional $1,000 to cover miscellaneous expenditures. Currently the exchange rate is US$1.3411/€1.00 (or €.7456/US$1.00).
