Question

James buys a drink for 2 euros (€).

Work out the cost of the drink in pounds (£) when £1 = €1.252.
Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places.

Answer 1

£1.6

Explanation:

we can round 1.252 to 1.25

to find how much 2 euros is, we first have to make 1.25 into 2.

to do that, we will use the same equation to get the answer for £

1.25/5*8=0.25*8=2. now we repeat for £1

1/5*8=0.20*8=1.6

hope it helps
