1.18 * x = 1 * 300.9

1.18x = 300.9

x = 255

255 pounds.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

300.90 € = £ 255

Explanation:

£ 1 = 1.18 €

So,

1 € = £ 1/1.18

=> 1 € = £ 0.847

Multiplying both sides by 300.90 for getting the exchange rate of 300.90 euros

=> 300.90 € = £ 0.847 * 300.90

=> 300.90 € = £ 255
