Solution :

Given that, Celia earned $5.00.

She saved $1.00 and spent the rest.

To find the ratio of the amount saved to the amount spent , we must first calculate the amount spent.

To calculate the amount spent, subtract the amount saved from the total money earned.

Amount spent by Celia = amount earned - amount saved
= 5-1 = 4

Hence, 1:4 is the ratio of the amount saved to the amount spent.
