Explanation of Solution

Suppose a person, who is in Mexico needs to buy the product of U.S. but the Mexican has pesos, whereas the Americans have to be paid in terms of dollar. Hence, the person in Mexico needs to exchange the pesos with dollars.

As demand for U.S goods increases, demand for dollar also increases in order to buy the U.S. goods. The supply of pesos increases as there is an increase in the demand for dollar. Likewise, as demand for Mexican goods increases, the demand for pesos also increases in order to buy Mexican goods. Demand for pesos increases with increase in the supply of dollars.
