Maths Question

[Grace20]

A group of Year 8 students are going on a trip to Paris, they are allowed to bring £200 as spending money. When they return they have €75 left. If there is €1.5 to £1, how much money do they have left in pounds?

How can I work this out quickly without a calculator?

1.5 euro is equivalent to 1 pound

1 euro is equivalent to 1/1.5 pound

75 euro is equivalent to (1*75/1.5 =) ?? pound (15 goes into 75 - how many times?)
