If you want to divide something in a 3:2 ratio between two people, just split it in 5 parts.

Then, you assign 2 parts to the first person, and 3 parts to the second. By construction, you're sure that they will have money in a 3:2 ratio, since you literally gave 2 and 3 parts to the two people.

So, just divide 100 by 5 to get the unit amount. Then multiply the unit amount by 2 and 3 to get the split.

Answer:

66.66 (other currency)

Explanation:

If every £3 represents 2 of another currency, you just need to figure out how many groups of £3 are in £100 (so £100/£3 = 33.33). Now multiply this value by 2 to get the equivalent of £100 in another currency.
