sum of the ratio =8+5=13

expenditure=5÷13×48000

then subtract the income from the expenditure to get the savings

Answer 2

Answer:

The monthly savings of family =  Rs 18000

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, The ratio of the income to the expenditure of a family is 8:5.

So, let the income of family  =  8x

      let the expenditure of the family  =  5x

It is given that the monthly income of family = Rs 48000

Thus,  8x  =  48000

=>  x  =  Rs 6000

Thus, the income of family  =   8 * 6000

                                            =  Rs 48000

Thus, the expenditure of family  =  5 * 6000

                                                       =  Rs 30000

So,the monthly savings of family =  the income of family - the expenditure of family

                                       =  48000 - 30000

                                        =  Rs 18000
