Ratio of expenditure to income in 2014 = \(\frac{175}{225}\)

= \(\frac{7}{9}\) = 0.778

Ratio of expenditure to income in 2016 = \(\frac{275}{325}\)

= \(\frac{11}{13}\) = 0.846

Ratio of expenditure to income in 2017 = \(\frac{300}{350}\)

= \(\frac{6}{7}\) = 0.89

Ratio of expenditure to income in 2018 = \(\frac{325}{350}\)

= \(\frac{13}{14}\) = 0.928
