The exchange rate at the post office is £1 = €1.17 how many euros will you get for £280

Hey there :)

We are given:
£ 1 = € 1.17
We need to find
£ 280 = ?

We can do this by ratio/fraction
[tex] \frac{pounds}{euros} [/tex] or pounds : euros

[tex] \frac{1}{1.17} = \frac{280}{?} [/tex]
We need to cross multiply to find the value of € when £280

? = 1.17 x 280
? = 327.6

£280 ≈ €327.6
