What knowitall says is very interesting, you can however do the calculation with just one multiplication
if you understand that £1:76 is 100% all we want to is add 10% to that therefore you times £1.76 by 110% (or as it is also know 1.1). You get the calculation
1.1 x £1.76 = £1.936 (rounded up to the nearest penny)
£1.94
