The ratio of Income to Savings is given as


5\colon4

and the savings is $9000.

Let us assume that the income is $x. Hence, we can write out the ratio as


x\colon9000

Therefore, we can solve for the income by comparing both ratios as follows:


\begin{gathered} (5)/(4)=(x)/(9000) \\ x=(5*9000)/(4) \\ x=11250 \end{gathered}

The income is $11,250.

The expenses can be calculated by subtracting the savings from the income.

Hence, we have the expenses to be


11250-9000=2250

The expenses cost is $2,250.

Therefore, the correct answer is OPTION A.
