Question

Geetha earns Rs.$12000$ a month, out of which she saves Rs.$3000$. Find the ratio of her savings to her income.

Answer 1

money earned, E=Rs 12000

money saved, S=Rs 3000

Ratio=S:E

=3000:12000

$\begin{array}{c}=\frac{3000}{12000}\\ =\frac{3000}{4\times 3000}\\ =\frac{1}{4}\\ =1:4\end{array}$
