Question

The weekly expenses of a boy have increased from RS 1500 to 2250 Find the ratio of the original expenses to increase expenses

Answer 1

Answer:

2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Original expenses = Ra 1500

Increased expenses = Rs 2250

Increase in expenses = Rs 2250 – Rs 1500 = Rs 750

Now, (i) Ratio in increase in expenses to original expenses = Rs 750 : Rs 1500 = 1 : 2

(ii) Original expenses to increased expenses = Rs 1500 : Rs 2250 1500/750 = 2250/750 = 2 : 3

(iii) Increased expenses to increased in expenses = Rs 2250 : Rs 750 = 3 : 1 (Dividing by 750)
