Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.3600

Explanation:

Given,

The ratio of income and expenditure of a person is 5 : 4

And also, the income is Rs.18000

Find the savings of the person.

Let's take the common ratio as x

Then,

• Income = 5x
• Expenditure = 4x

According to the question,

$\rm \implies \: 5x = 18000$

$\rm \implies \: x = \dfrac{18000}{5}$

$\rm \implies \: x = 3600$

Hence,

• Expenditure = 4x = 4(3600) = 14400

We know,

Savings = Income - Expenditure

So,

= 18000 - 14400

= 3600

∴ Savings of the person is Rs.3,600
