Answer 1

Given:-

• Ratio of income to saving of a family is 11:2.

⠀

To find:-

• The expenditure if the saving is Rs.1520.

⠀

Solution:-

Let,

• the income and saving be 11x and 2x.

⠀

According to the question,

→ Saving = 1520

→ 2x = 1520

→ x = 1520/2

→ x = 760

⠀

Therefore,

• Income = 11x = (11 × 760) = Rs.8360

⠀

Now,

→ Expenditure = Income - Saving

→ 8360 = 1520

→ Rs.6840

⠀

Hence,

• the expenditure is Rs.6840.
