James has just sold his motorbike for £1,890.



He bought the motorbike for £2,700.



What fraction of the original cost did he sell the bike for?

Respuesta :

James sold his motorbike for = £1,890
He bought the motorbike for = £2,700
Fraction of the original cost did he sell the bike = £1,890 / £2,700 
Now we solve this to simplify the fraction
0 at the end of both numbers cancels with each other 
and then if we divide both number with 27, we get 
27 x 7 = 189 and 27 x 10 = 270
after simplifying the fraction will be = 7 / 10
So, the answer is 7 /10
