Question

If the exchange rate is €1.20 to £1, how many pounds sterling would you get for €180?

Answer 1

Answer:

150 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

1.20 euros = 1 pound

180 euros =  x pounds

Set up the proportion

1.20 Euros/1 pound = 180 Euros / x pound    Cross multiply

1.20*x = 1 * 180                                                 Combine

1.20 x = 180                                                      Divide by 1.2

x = 180 / 1.20

x = 150 pounds.

As a bonus, you might want to try and guess which is the stronger currency.
