To find the ratio of Funke's savings to the amount she spends, we need to calculate her savings and spending amount first.
1. The pocket money Funke receives is 2.50 naira.
2. She spends 75 kobo (which is equivalent to 0.75 naira) from her pocket money.
3. To find her savings, we subtract the spending amount from her pocket money:
Saving = Pocket money - Spending
= 2.50 naira - 0.75 naira
= 1.75 naira
Now, we can find the ratio of her savings to her spending:
Ratio = Savings / Spending
= 1.75 naira / 0.75 naira
≈ 2.33
Therefore, the ratio of Funke's savings to the amount she spends is approximately 2.33.
To find the ratio of Funke's savings to the amount she spends, we need to calculate her savings and the amount she spends separately and then compare the two.
First, let's calculate how much Funke spends:
Funke spends 75 kobo out of 2.50 naira. To convert naira to kobo, we multiply the naira amount by 100 to get the kobo equivalent. Therefore, 2.50 naira is equal to 250 kobo.
So, Funke spends 75 kobo out of 250 kobo.
To find Funke's savings, we subtract the amount she spends from her total pocket money:
Savings = Total pocket money - Amount spent
Savings = 250 kobo - 75 kobo
Savings = 175 kobo
Now that we know Funke's savings are 175 kobo, we can compare it to the amount she spends:
Ratio = Savings : Amount spent
Ratio = 175 kobo : 75 kobo
To make the ratio simpler, we can divide both the savings and amount spent by the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers, which is 25 kobo:
Ratio = (175 kobo ÷ 25 kobo) : (75 kobo ÷ 25 kobo)
Ratio = 7 : 3
Therefore, the ratio of Funke's savings to the amount she spends is 7:3.
