    Answer:

    18.75

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Remark

    For this question, you need to set up a proportion. The ratio on each side of the equal sign is dollars  over pounds.

    Proportion

    15/8 = x / 10                     Cross Multiply

    Solution

    8x = 15 * 10                      Combine

    8x = 150                           Divide by 8

    x = 150/8

    x = 18.75
