Given:

The Price of 1 British pound was worth 2.04 U.S. Dollars.

To find:

How many pounds was 56.65 dollars worth?

Step by step solution:

According to the question:

1 British pound = 2.04 U.S. Dollars

We will divide 56.65 dollars to 2.04 dollars to get the total amount of British pounds in 56.65 dollars.

= 56.65 / 2.04

= 27.7696

We will round it off to nearest 100 (two decimal places)

As the third digit is more than 5 so we will round the second digit after decimal to the higher number

= 27.7696 ≈ 27.77

From here we can say that the worth of 56.65 dollars is equal to 27.77 British pounds.
