Question

The monthly salary of a person is $₹15,000$ and his monthly expenditure is $₹12,000$. Find the ratio of salary to expenditure.

Answer 1

Step 1: Find the ratio:

Given, monthly salary of the person = $₹15,000$

monthly expenditure of the person = $₹12,000$

Ratio between salary to expenditure = $\frac{15000}{12000}$

Step 2: Convert into simplest form

Divide numerator and denominator by the Highest Common Factor 3000.

Ratio between salary to expenditure = $\frac{15000÷3000}{12000÷3000}=\frac{5}{4}=5:4$

Hence, the ratio of salary to expenditure is $5:4$.
