The ratio of his savings: expenses = 7: 5
So, total of the ratio is = 7 +5 =12
His savings will be 7/12* allowance
His expenses will be 5/12 * allowance
We know that the allowance that he gets is $3
His savings = 7/12 * allowances
His savings = 7/12 * 3
His savings = $7/4 or 1 ¾
Now, we convert the 7/4 (or 1 ¾) into a decimal.
1 ¾ when converted is decimal is 1.75
His Savings = $1.75
