    1.17 Euros

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that £1 equals 1.25 dollars then to get the value of 1 dollar will be 1/1.25=£0.8

    If 1 Euro equals to 1.07 dollars and knowing that 1 dollar is equal to £0.8 then 1.07 dollars will be equal to 1.07*0.8=£0.856

    1.07 dollars=£0.856=1Euro

    1.25 dollars = £1=x Euros

    Cross multiplying the last two parts then

    £0.856 * x Euros=£1*1Euro

    X=1/0.856=1.1682242990654

    Rounding off to 2 decimal places, x=1.17

    Therefore £1 is worth 1.17 Euros
