• A. 37:33
• B. 36:31
• C. 36:31
• D. 37:45

Answer 1

The correct option is D 37:45

$\text{Monthly income of Johny}=\$5000$


Percentage of income spent on:
Food = 15%
School education = 25%
Entertainment = 18%
Medical bills = 22%
Savings = 20%

Amount spent on food
$=\frac{15}{100}\times \$5000$
$=\$750$

Amount spent on school education
$=\frac{25}{100}\times \$5000$
$=\$1250$

Amount spent on entertainment
$=\frac{18}{100}\times \$5000$
$=\$900$

Amount spent on medical bills
$=\frac{22}{100}\times \$5000$
$=\$1100$

Amount set aside for savings
$=\frac{20}{100}\times \$5000$
$=\$1000$

Expenses on food and medical bills
$=\$750+\$1100=\$1850$

Expenses on savings and school education
$=\$1000+\$1250=\$2250$

$\text{Ratio}=\$1850:\$2250=37:45$
