Step up transformer + ac generator question

[tobz102]

Homework Statement

An AC generator, originally designed to provide a peak output of +/- 155V at frequency 60Hz, is required to provide a peak output of +/- 340V at 50Hz. If the generator is connected to a transformer with 200 loops in its primary coil, how many loops should there be in the secondary coil in order to required the output?

Homework Equations

transformer equation? EMF on secondary / EMF on primary = No. coils on secondary / No. coils on primary

The Attempt at a Solution

I don't understand where to start on this? I know that I need to use the above equation but unsure how to get there

Break it down to what is happening at the primary (input) and secondary (output)

Primary

Voltage =?
No. of coils = ?

Secondary

Voltage =?
No. of coils = ?

I was thinking along the lines of:

Primary V=155V
Coils = 200 loops

Secondary V=340V
Coils=?

But surely this is too much of a simple method and also it gets me the frequency of the a.c current...

Well using the transformer equation that is how it should be done.
