Question

As an estimation we are told £3 is €4.

Convert £10.70 to euros.
Give your answer rounded to 2 DP.

Answer 1

From the estimation,

£10.7 = €14.27

Explanation:

Given the conversion rate between the pounds and the euro currencies, we are to convert an amount in pounds to euros

From the estimate;

3 pounds = 4 euros

Thus;

10.7 pounds = x euros

We are using x since the value in euros is not known presently.

To move from here, we simply cross multiply.

That would give;

3 * x = 4 * 10.7

3x = 42.8

x = 42.8/3

x = 14.2666

x = €14.27
