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
