Question

the ratio of income to saving of a family is 9:2 find the expenditure if the saving is 1400​

Answer 1

Answer: Rs. 61,600

Step-by-step explanation: Let the income be 'x'

Given = 9:2 is same as x:1400 = 9:2::x:1400

9*1400 = 2*x = 1,26,000 = 2x

2x = 126000

x = 126000/2

x = 63000                      So, income = Rs. 63,000

                                             savings = Rs. 1,400

                                      expenditure = 63,000 - 1,400

                                                           = Rs. 61,600

Answer : Expenditure = Rs. 61,600
