Answer:

The  fraction of income does Lakshmi donate to charity is [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the income of the Lakshmi be x.

As given

Lakshmi donates 20 % of her income to charity .

20% is written in the decimal form.

[tex]= \frac{20}{100}[/tex]

= 0.20

Lakshmi donates to charity = 0.20 × x

                                             = 0.20x

[tex]Fraction\ of\ Lakshmi\ income\ donate\ to\ charity = \frac{Lakshmi\ donates\ to\ charity}{Total\ income\ of\ Lakshmi}[/tex]

Putting the values in the above

[tex]Fraction\ of\ Lakshmi\ income\ donate\ to\ charity = \frac{0.20x}{x}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction\ of\ Lakshmi\ income\ donate\ to\ charity = \frac{20}{100}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction\ of\ Lakshmi\ income\ donate\ to\ charity = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Therefore the  fraction of income does Lakshmi donate to charity is [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] .
