Question

the ratio of income to savings of family is 11;2 find the expenditure if the saving is 1520

Answer 1

Income and savings are in the ratio of 11 : 2

so Let savings be 2x and income be 11x

so 2x = 1520

x = 760

expenditure = income - savings

= 11 x - 2x

= 9x

= 9 × 760

= 6840

so expenditure is Rs 6840
