Answer:

\frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the cost of the torch and b represent the cost of the battery.

The torch and a battery cost £2.50 altogether.

\Rightarrow t+b=2.50

The torch costs £2.00 more than the battery.

\Rightarrow t=b+2.00

We substitute the second equation into the first equation to get;

\Rightarrow b+2.00+b=2.50

\Rightarrow 2b=2.50-2.00

£2.50

\Rightarrow 2b=0.50

\Rightarrow b=0.25

The price of the battery is £0.25

We express this as a fraction of the total cost which is £2.50 to get;

\frac{0.25}{2.5}=\frac{1}{10}
