Five hundred Mexican pesos Explanation: MXN is the abbreviation of Mexican peso, Mexico's monetary currency. What is a little confusing to me, it is the comma, and the point on the right side, followed by two zeros. In maths, commas are used to separate whole numbers from decimals, etc. To me the number you need translation for is $500,00.00, hence five hundred MXN=Mexican pesos. |

$50,000.00 MXN (fifty thousand pesos) Explanation: I think they've misplaced the comma. A quick google search shows this to be a common error. Remember that in Spanish, commas and points in numbers are used differently to how they are in English (50.000,00 = 50,000.00). Also, a monthly salary of 500 pesos does not make any sense (the average monthly salary in Mexico is at around $33.000 MXN). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2020-07-24 09:12:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Average salary = 33,000 pesos. I went and used a comma instead of a point ;) |
