Is it okay to use 720 000 euro(750-(750*4$) instead of 721154 euros?
No it is not OK !!!
You should do it the way I do in my free lectures on this, which is the correct way and the way that the examiner expects.
You would not lose all of the marks for this part of the question, but you would certainly lose many of them because it is wrong.
Have you watched the free lectures? Because in the lectures I do explain why it is that we do what we do.

It is because the interest is compounded – i.e. is based on the amount at the start, not the amount at the end,
