Answer to Question 1

There is a surplus of riyal in exchange for U.S. dollars, because at the pegged exchange rate the quantity of riyal demanded is less than the quantity of riyal supplied. To maintain the pegged exchange rate, the Saudi central bank will have to buy riyal in exchange for dollars. The Saudi central bank will have to buy 70 million riyal per day.

Answer to Question 2

If 13.5 pesos = 1 dollar, then 1 peso = 1 / 13.5 = 0.074 dollars.
