210

Explanation:

Answer 2

210 pounds

Explanation

First, we are going to find the exchange rate from dollars to pounds.

We know form our problem that 800 dollars are 560 pounds. so:

`(560pounds)/(800dollars) =0.7` pounds per dollar.

Next, we are going to multiply our exchange rate by the number of dollars we want to change, 300:

`300dollars*(0.7pounds)/(dollar) =210pounds`

We will get 210 pounds for 300 dollars
