Bethany lives in London.
Her cousin Pierre lives in Paris.
They are going on holiday together to America.
Pierre is offered an exchange rate of 1 euro to 1.07 dollars.
Bethany is offered an exchange rate of £1 to 1.25 dollars.
Using these exchange rates, how many euros is £1 worth?

To find out how many euros £1 is worth, we can use the exchange rates provided:

- Bethany is offered an exchange rate of £1 to 1.25 dollars.
- Pierre is offered an exchange rate of 1 euro to 1.07 dollars.

### Step 1: Express £1 in terms of dollars
Bethany's exchange rate is:
\[
£1 = 1.25 \text{ dollars}
\]

### Step 2: Convert dollars to euros
Pierre's exchange rate tells us that:
\[
1 \text{ euro} = 1.07 \text{ dollars}
\]
Therefore, we can convert the 1.25 dollars from Step 1 to euros by dividing the amount in dollars by the number of dollars per euro:
\[
1 \text{ pound} = \frac{1.25 \text{ dollars}}{1.07 \text{ dollars/euro}} = 1.1682 \text{ euros}
\]

So, £1 is worth approximately **1.17 euros**.
