The calculator was 12 euros ie £8.40
so 1 euro is the same as 8.40 divided by 12
a cap costing 10 euros is 8.40 x 10/12 = 84/12 = £7
(It should work if you use pen or briefcase .. by the numbers are simpler for the calculator)

See my post to your previous question. The best methodology depends on the actual numbers and values given in the question. This is a question that is structured so that there is a more difficult way and a less difficult way.zhadakhan wrote:yoyo thankuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu , yahooo, sucesss we actually know how to do it now thanku so much ,
The less difficult way.
Calculator: 12 Euros; £8.40
Pen: 22 Euros; £15.40
Difference: 10 Euros; £7.00
You want the price of a 10 Euro cap.
Therefore answer is £7.00
