7/10 is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:
`(7)/(10)`

Explanation:

Given : James has just sold his motorbike for
`\pounds1,890`.

He bought the motorbike for
`\pounds2,700`.

Now, the fraction of the original cost for which he sold the bike is given by :-

`\frac{\text{Selling price}}{\text{Original cost}}\\\\=(1890)/(2700)\\\\=(7)/(10)`

Hence, the fraction of the original cost for which he sold the bike is
`(7)/(10)`
