Answer 2

$\underline{ \underline{ \sf \maltese\:{Given:-}}}$

• Ratio of income to savings = 5:4
• Savings = $9000

$\underline{ \underline{ \sf \maltese \:{To \: find:-}}}$

• Income
• Expenses

$\underline{ \underline{ \sf \maltese \:{Solution:-}}}$

Let:-

• The income = 5x
• The savings = 4x

∴ 4x = 9000

⇒ x = $\dfrac{\cancel{9000}}{\cancel{4}}$

⇒ x = 2250

∴ The monthly income = 5x = 5 × 2250 = $11250

∴ the expenses = Income - savings = $2250
