Question

Toby goes on holiday to Geneva, Switzerland. In Geneva, Toby sees a watch costing 193.75 CHF (Swiss Francs). In Manchester, an identical watch costs £145.
Given that £1=1.55CHF
a) In which city is the watch cheaper.
b) By how much is it cheaper (in £)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the watch seen by Toby in Geneva = 193.73 CHF (Swiss Francs)

The cost of the identical watch in Manchester = £ 145

It is given that, £ 1 = 1.55 CHF

∴ £ 145 = [145 * 1.55] CHF = 224.75 CHF  

Thus,  

The watch in Geneva is cheaper than the watch in Manchester by,

= [224.75 – 193.73]

= 31.02 CHF
