(ii) expenditure to savings
(iii) savings to salary
The monthly salary of a person is Rs 12,000 and his monthly expenditure is Rs 8,500. Find the ratio of his:
(i) salary to expenditure
(ii) expenditure to savings
(iii) savings to salary
Given
The monthly salary of a person = Rs 12, 000
Monthly expenditure = Rs 8, 500
(i) Salary to expenditure will be as given below
12, 000: 8, 500 = 12, 000 / 8, 500
On simplification, we get
= 120 / 85
= 24 / 17
= 24: 17
∴ The ratio between salary and expenditure is 24: 17
(ii) Savings = salary – expenditure
Savings = 12, 000 – 8, 500
= 3, 500
The ratio between expenditure and savings will be as given below
8500: 3500 = 8500 / 3500
On simplification, we get
= 85 / 35
= 17 / 7
= 17: 7
∴ The ratio between expenditure and savings will be 17: 7
(iii) Savings = salary – expenditure
Savings = 12, 000 – 8, 500
= 3, 500
The ratio between savings and salary will be as given below
3, 500: 12, 000 = 3500 / 12000
On simplification, we get
= 35 / 120
= 7 / 24
= 7: 24
∴ The ratio between savings and salary will be 7: 24
Given
The monthly salary of a person = Rs 12, 000
Monthly expenditure = Rs 8, 500
(i) Salary to expenditure will be as given below
12, 000: 8, 500 = 12, 000 / 8, 500
On simplification, we get
= 120 / 85
= 24 / 17
= 24: 17
∴ The ratio between salary and expenditure is 24: 17
(ii) Savings = salary – expenditure
Savings = 12, 000 – 8, 500
= 3, 500
The ratio between expenditure and savings will be as given below
8500: 3500 = 8500 / 3500
On simplification, we get
= 85 / 35
= 17 / 7
= 17: 7
∴ The ratio between expenditure and savings will be 17: 7
(iii) Savings = salary – expenditure
Savings = 12, 000 – 8, 500
= 3, 500
The ratio between savings and salary will be as given below
3, 500: 12, 000 = 3500 / 12000
On simplification, we get
= 35 / 120
= 7 / 24
= 7: 24
∴ The ratio between savings and salary will be 7: 24
