Answer 1

Hey there :)

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

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

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

? = 1.17 x 280
? = 327.6

£280 ≈ €327.6

Answer 2

Answer: $327.6\text{ euros}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the exchange rate at the post office is  $\pounds1=\euro 1.17$

Using Unitary method , the conversion of $280\pounds$ to  euros is given by multiplying 280 on both sides of the above equation ,  we get :-

$\pounds280=\euro280\times1.17\\\\\Rightarrow\ \pounds280=\euro327.6$

Therefore, we can say that we will get 327.6 euros for $\pounds280$ .
