 If  Dollar 5= £4 and Rs 342 = Dollar 3, how many pounds (£) will be equal to Rs 8550?

Solution:

Given,

Dollar 5= £4S

o, Dollar 1 = £4/5 …. (i)

Also,

Rs 342 = Dollar 3

or, Dollar 1 = Rs 342/3 ….. (ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get;

£ 4/5 = Rs 342 /3

or, £ 12 = Rs 1710

or, Re 1 = £12/ 1710

So, Re 1 x 8550 = £12/1710 x 8550

Therefore, Rs 8550 = £ 60
