The U. S. price of the textbook purchased in Canada is of $135.

Explanation:

Assuming that the exchange rate is CA $1.10 = US $1.00, we can say that a Canadian Dollar is 10/11 or 0.90 of an American Dollar. As the textbook costs CA $150, we have to multiply 150 by the value of a Canadian Dollar with respect to an American Dollar: 150 x 0.90 = 135. Therefore, the U. S. price of the textbook purchased in Canada is of US $135.
