Question

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

Step-by-step explanation:

you can solve with an equation

1£ : 1.17€ = 280£ : x

1 : 1.17 = 280 : x

x = 1.17 * 280 : 1

x = 327.6

check

1 : 1.17 = 280 : 327.6

0.85 = 0.85

the answer is good

or you can simpy solve with a multiplication

280 * 1.17 = 327.6

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
