Question

As an estimation we are told ?3 is €4. Convert €83.60 to pounds. Give your answer rounded to 2 DP.

Answer 1

Answer:

€83.60 = £62.70

Step-by-step explanation:

£3/€4 = £x/€ 83.60

¾ = x/83.60

Multiply each side by the lowest common denominator (4 × 83.60)

3 × 83.60 = 4x

Divide each side by 4

x = (3 × 83.60)/4 = £62.70

∴ €83.60 = £62.70

(The conversion factor is out of date. The current conversion factor is closer to £6 = €7.)
