Answer 2

The fraction of income does Lakshmi donate to charity is
`(1)/(5)`.

Explanation:

Let us assume that the income of the Lakshmi be x.

As given

Lakshmi donates 20 % of her income to charity .

20% is written in the decimal form.

`= (20)/(100)`

= 0.20

Lakshmi donates to charity = 0.20 × x

= 0.20x

`Fraction\ of\ Lakshmi\ income\ donate\ to\ charity = (Lakshmi\ donates\ to\ charity)/(Total\ income\ of\ Lakshmi)`

Putting the values in the above

`Fraction\ of\ Lakshmi\ income\ donate\ to\ charity = (0.20x)/(x)`

`Fraction\ of\ Lakshmi\ income\ donate\ to\ charity = (20)/(100)`

`Fraction\ of\ Lakshmi\ income\ donate\ to\ charity = (1)/(5)`

Therefore the fraction of income does Lakshmi donate to charity is
`(1)/(5)` .
