Answer:

Saving=£450

Spent=£200

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of saving to spending is 9:4

She inherits £650

So to determine her saving

It will be

9+4=13

Since her saving is 9

So, 9/13 × 650

5850/13

=450

So her saving is£450

To determine what she spent

4/13 × 650

2600/13

200

Saving=£450

Spent=£200

The amount she saves is  £450 and the amount she spends is £200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The amount she has = £650

The ratio of saving to spending money is 9:4

To find the amount she saves and she spends.

Let,

The amount she saves = 9x

The amount she spends = 4x

According to the problem,

9x+4x = 650

or, 13x = 650

or, x = [tex]\frac{650}{13}[/tex] = 50

Hence,

The amount she saves =  £50×9 =  £450

The amount she spends = £50×4 = £200
