Question

Adam and Darcy converted some pounds (£) into euros (€) at two different shops. Adam converted £20 into €23.60 at Shop A. Darcy converted £74 into €84.36 at Shop B. Carys converted some pounds at one of these.

a. Shop A
b. Shop B
c. Either Shop A or B
d. Insufficient information

Answer 1

Carys most likely converted the pounds at Shop B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which shop Carys converted the pounds at, we need to compare the exchange rates at Shop A and Shop B. At Shop A, £20 converted to €23.60, which means the exchange rate was €1 = £20/€23.60 = £0.8475. At Shop B, £74 converted to €84.36, which means the exchange rate was €1 = £74/€84.36 = £0.8784. Since the exchange rate at Shop B (£0.8784) is higher than the exchange rate at Shop A (£0.8475), it would make sense for Carys to have converted the pounds at Shop B.
