Mohammed wants to buy this sister a shirt. The shirt cost 109 British Pounds. Using the conversion rate of 1AED = .22 British Pound, how much is the cost of the shirt in AED?

Answer 1

Eva Adamson

495.45 AED

Another method to go about doing this is:

To do this, we can use a ratio:

#"units of British pounds"/"units of AED"="units of British pounds"/"units of AED"#

#.22/1=109/x#

#.22x=109#

#x=109/.22=495.45AED#
