Question

If one US dollar equals .5 British Pounds, you would receive ___ British Pounds if you exchanged $15.

Answer 1

The answer is "75 British pounds"

Explanation:

We are given that

1 British dollar = 15 British pounds

There are two ways to do it

Let, x= British dollar

y= British pound

So, it will become

x = 5 y

15 = 5 (15)

15 British dollar = 75 British pounds

Thus,

15*5 = 75
