A torch and a battery cost 2.50 altogether.
The torch costs £1.50 more than the battery.
What fraction of the total price is the torch?
Give your answer in the simplest form

The fraction of the cost of the torch and the total price is .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The cost of torch and a battery = 2.50

The torch costs 1.50 more than the battery.

To find the fraction of the cost of the torch and the total price.

Let,

The cost of a battery = x

The cost of the torch = x+1.50

According to the problem,

x+1.50+x = 2.50

or, 2x = 1

or, x = 0.50

Hence,

The cost of a battery =0.50

The cost of the torch = 0.50+1.50 = 2.00

The fraction of the cost of the torch and the total price = =
