Question

The monthly expenses of a student have increased from $₹350$ to $₹500$. Find the ratio of

Increased expenses to increase in expenses

Answer 1

Given that,

Increased expense $=$$₹500$

Increase in expense $=$$₹500-₹350=₹150$

ratio of Increased expenses to increase in expenses$=$$150:500$

Simplified form of $150:500$ can be obtained by dividing both terms by their HCF $50$

$150:500=\frac{150}{500}=\frac{{\displaystyle \frac{150}{50}}}{{\displaystyle \frac{500}{50}}}=\frac{3}{10}$

Hence, the ratio of Increased expenses to increase in expenses is $3:10$
