Andy flies from the UK to Japan.

His plane ticket costs = £554.

Andy then flies from Japan to Australia.

His plane ticket costs 70 140 Japanese Yen.

His plane ticket costs = £501.

Now, adding both the cost of tickets:

$501+554=\£1055.$

Andy total pays fly from the UK to Australia is £1055.

Now, to get the cost of plane ticket of Leila from the UK to Australia.

Her plane ticket costs 1860 Australian dollars.

The exchange rate is 1 Australian dollar = £0.62.

1 Australian dollar = £0.62

1860 Australian dollar = $1860\times 0.62=\£1153.2$

Her plane ticket costs is £1153.2.
