Answer:

€327.6

Explanation:

==>Given:

Post office exchange rate=> £1 = €1.17

==>Required:

Amount of Euros that will get me £280

==>Solution:

Using the exchange rate at the list office as stated in the question, convert £280 to euros:

Let x be the amount in euros

£1 = €1.17

£280 = x

Cross multiply to equate

x*£1 = €1.17*£280

Divide both sides by £1 to make x the subject of formula

x = (€1.17*£280)/£1

x = €327.6

You will get €327.6 for £280
