Question

The ratio of monthly income to the savings in a family is 5 : 4 If the savings be $9000, find the income and the expenses. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Savings are 9000 and have the ratio of four so to get one

9000/4=2250

Income is 5 so and 2250 is 1

2250x5=11250

The difference is 11250-9000= 2250 which is the expenses

Income= 11250

Expenses= 2250

Savings= 9000

Income to savings is 11250 to 9000

Simplify by 2250

We get the ratio 5:4

Answer 2

Answer:

Income = $11,250

Expenses = $2,250

Explanation:

Ratio of Income to savings = 5:4

Let monthly income be 5x

let monthly savings be 4x

savings = $9,000

4x = 9,000

x = 9,000/4

x = 2,250

________________________________________________________

Value of 5x = 2,250*5

5x = $11,250

__________________________________________________________Monthly expenses = 11,250 - 9,000

= $2,250

hope it helps you :)
