Answer:
1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find what fraction of the total price the battery is, we need to find out how much the battery alone is first.
Since the battery and torch together are £2.50 and the torch is £2.00, we can find the price of the battery by subtracting the total price to the price of the torch.
Battery Price = £2.50 - £2.00
Battery Price = £0.50
The fraction value of the torch is:
2.00 of 2.50 = 4/5
That then leaves us with:
0.50 of 2.50 = 1/5
To check we need to add the two fractions together.
1/5 + 4/5 = 5/5 or 1
