Question

Shreya earns rupees $15000$ per month and saves rupees $2500$ every month. Find the ratio of her earnings to her expenditure.

Answer 1

Step 1. Finding the expenditure:

Given, Shreya's earnings per month $=15000$

Her savings every month $=2500$

We know,

Earnings $=$ Savings $+$ Expenditure

Expenditure $=$ Earnings $-$ Savings

Expenditure $=$ $15000-2500=12500Rupees$

So, Shreya's expenditure per month is rupees $12500$.

Step 2. Finding the ratio of earnings to expenditure:

Ratio of Shreya's earnings to expenditure $=$ $\frac{Shreya\text{'}searningpermonth}{Shreya\text{'}sexpenditurepermonth}$

$=\frac{15000}{12500}$

$=\frac{6}{5}$

$=6:5$

Hence, the ratio of Shreya's earnings to her expenditure is $6:5$.
