Answer:

1 kilogram of gold have a cost of 6358 £

Explanation:

1 kilogram = 2.2 lb

So if     1 lb costs 4730 $

then   2.2 lb costs X

X = (2.2 × 4730) / 1 = 10406 $

Now we exchange dollars $ in pounds £:

if               1 $ is equal to 0.611 £

then   10406 $ is equal to X  £

X = (10406 / 0.611) / 1 = 6358 £
