Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in the cost of book between Portugal and England is £2.37.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of book in Portugal = €34.95

Cost of book in England =£27.50

We need to find the difference in pounds (£) between for cost of the book in Portugal and England.

Solution,

Firstly we will find out the cost of book bought in Portugal in pounds.

We have also given that;

£1 = €1.17

Here we use the unitary method to find the cost in pounds.

Since €1.17 =£1

\therefore 34.95=\frac{34.95}{1.17}=\£29.87∴34.95=

1.17

34.95

=\£29.87

also given that the cost of book in England is £27.50.

Now we will find the difference, which is equal to cost of book in England minus cost of book in Portugal.

Difference = \£29.87-\£27.50=\£2.37\£29.87−\£27.50=\£2.37

Hence The difference in the cost of book between Portugal and England is £2.37.
