Question

the ratio of the expenditure and savings in a family is 5:3 if the expenditure is Rs3500 then the savings​

Answer 1

We have,

The ratio of Family Expenditure to Family Savings =

5:3

Now,

We are given with the expenditure, i.e. ₹3500

So,

5+3 = 8

And let the total income be x.

$\frac{5}{8} \times x = 3500 \\ \\ x = 3500 \times \frac{8}{5} \\ \\ x = 700 \times 8 = 5600$

Total income = ₹5600

Savings = Total Income - Expenditure

Savings = 5600-3500 = ₹2100

The savings done by family are of ₹2100.
