Find the sister's savings first, then write the ratio in simplest form.
[[model:questions/solutions/q10694.png]]
• Lance saved: \(\$45\)
• Total saved: \(\$100\)
• Sister saved: \(\$100 - \$45 = \$55\)
• Ratio Lance : Sister = 45 : 55
• Simplify: divide both by 5 → 9 : 11
The ratio of Lance's savings to his sister's savings is 9 : 11.
Check: 9 + 11 = 20 parts. Each part = $100 ÷ 20 = $5. Lance = 9x$5=$45, Sister = 11x$5=$55. ✓
Final Answer: 9 : 11
