Question

The cost, in pounds, of insuring a television per month is worked out using this rule.

The value of the television in pounds, plus 75, divided by 12.

Jonathan is told that it will cost him £20.25 per month to insure his television.
(b)

Work out the value of his television.

Answer 1

£168

Explanation:

Let's set up the equation using the given information:

(Value of television + 75) / 12 = £20.25

To find the value of the television, we need to isolate the "Value of television" term. We can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 12:

(Value of television + 75) = £20.25 * 12

Simplifying:

Value of television + 75 = £243

Now, subtracting 75 from both sides of the equation:

Value of television = £243 - 75

= £168

Hope that makes sense
