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
