The ratio of the income of the expenditure of a family is 7:6. Find the savings, if the income is ₹ 1400

Given :

The ratio of the income to the expenditure of a family $= 7: 6$.

Income $= Rs. 1400$

To do :

We have to find savings.

Solution :

Let the income of the family be 7x.

This implies,

Income $= Rs. 1400 = 7x$

$7x = Rs. 1400$

$x = Rs. \frac{1400}{7}$

$x = Rs. 200$

$Savings = Income - Expenditure$

               $= Rs. 1400 - 6(200)$

               $= Rs. (1400-1200)$

               $= Rs. 200$

The savings of the family is Rs. 200.
