Solution

Neelam’s annual income is Rs. 288000. Her annual savings amount to Rs. 36000. The ratio of her savings to her expenditure is 1 : 7.

Explanation:

Neelam’s annual income = Rs. 288000

Her savings = Rs. 36000

∴ Her expenditure = Annual income – Savings

= Rs. 288000 – Rs. 36000

= Rs. 252000

∴ The required ratio = `"Saving"/"Expenditure"`

= `(Rs. 36000)/(Rs. 252000)`

= `1/7`

= 1 : 7
