The ratio of the income to the savings of a family is $15:4$. Find the expenditure if the saving is $Rs.\ 2800$.
Given: The ratio of the income to the savings of a family is $15:4$ and the saving is $Rs.\ 2800$.
To do: To find the expenditure.
Solution:
Let $x$ be the income.
As given, $Income:Saving=15:4$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{2800}=\frac{15}{4}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{2800\times15}{4}$
$\Rightarrow x=10,500$
As known, $Saving=Income-Expenditure$
$\Rightarrow 2800=10,500-Expenditure$
$\Rightarrow Expenditure=10,500-2,800$
$\Rightarrow Expenditure=7,700$
Thus the expenditure is $Rs.\ 7,700$.
