Answer:

Laura's saddle is cheaper

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to convert from euros to pound and compare which purchase is more expensive.

given data

we are told that Steve buys the same saddle from Holland for 990 Euros

given the exchange rate in pounds, it will be

£1 = 1.18 Euros

 x=990 Euros

cross multiply we have

x=990/1.18

x= £838.98

Steve buys at  £838.98

delivery charge is  15 Euros to pounds

£1 = 1.18 Euros

 x=15 Euros

cross multiply we have

x=15/1.18

x= £13.04

to expenses incurred by Steve= £838.98+£13.04

=£852.02

Laura's saddle is cheaper
