Question

The ratio of Expenditure and savings of a family is 7:2 find the expenditure, if the savings is Rs3200

Answer 1

Hey Mate,

Given,

Ratio of Expenditure to Savings = 7 : 2

Savings = Rs. 3200.

Let us take Expenditure to be 7x and Savings to be 2x. Then,

=> Savings = 2x

=> 3200 = 2x

=> 3200/2 = x

=> 1600 = x

Therefore, x = 1600.

Now, we have to find the expenditure. Since, expenditure is 7x,

Expenditure = 7 ( 1600 )

Expenditure = Rs. 11200

Hope it Helps!
