What is the ratio of the amount spent by the family on Medicine to the amount spent on Groceries?

Answer:

Explanation:

Percentage Break-up of expenditure is:

Investments → $\left(\frac{54}{360}\times100\right)$ % = 15%

Commuting → $\left(\frac{79.2}{360}\times100\right)$% = 22%

Shopping → $\left(\frac{68.4}{360}\times100\right)$% = 19%

Groceries → $\left(\frac{82.8}{360}\times100\right)$% = 23%

Medicines → $\left(\frac{39.6}{360}\times100\right)$% = 11%

Entertainment → $\left(\frac{36}{360}\times100\right)$% = 10%

(Amount spent on Medicine) : (Amount spent on Groceries)

= $\left(\frac{11}{100}\times45800\right)$ : $\left(\frac{23}{100}\times45800\right)$

= 11 : 23
