Dumsani earns R42 480 per month. He splits his earnings in the ratio 7:5 and then saves the lesser amount. How much does he save?

R17 700

Step-by-step explanation:

Dumsani earns R42 480 per month. He splits his earnings in the ratio 7:5 and then saves the lesser amount. How much does he save?

Step 1

We have ratio 7:5

The sum of the proportion = 7 + 5 = 12

We are told in the above question, that he saves the lesser amount

The lesser ratio = 5

Hence, the amount he saves is calculated as:

5/12 of R42 480

= 5/12 × R42 480

= 5 × 3540

= R17 700

Therefore, he saves R17 700

from the figure we get,

the x axis shows   the months and,

the y-axis shows the number of satisfied customer.

each line or each cell in upward direction (y-axis) shows 500.

the appropriate scale for the y - axis is: -

a = 2000 customers

b = 4000 customers

c = 6000 customers

d = 8000 customers

e = 10000 customers

f = 12000 customers

g = 14000 customers
