Question

Solution
To find the cost of the present in pounds, we need to convert the price from French Francs to pounds.
Here are the steps:
-
We know that 9.75 French Francs equal £1.
-
To find out how much 1 French Franc is in pounds, we divide 1 by 9.75. So, 1 French Franc = £1/9.75 = £0.10256 (rounded to 5 decimal places).
-
Now, we multiply the cost of the present in French Francs (44.85) by the value of 1 French Franc in pounds (£0.10256).
So, 44.85 French Francs * £0.10256/French Franc = £4.60 (rounded to 2 decimal places).
Therefore, the cost of the present in pounds and pence is £4.60.
