Joe was planning a business trip to Canada, so he went to the bank to exchange \$200 U.S. dollars for Canadian (CDN) dollars (at a rate of \$1.02 CDN per \$1 US). On the way home from the bank, Joe’s boss called to say that the destination of the trip had changed to Mexico City. Joe went back to the bank to exchange his Canadian dollars for Mexican pesos (at a rate of 10.8 pesos per \$1 CDN). How many Mexican pesos did Joe get?
