Answer:

Jack spent 270 on bills

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide 1800 to find the value of rent.

1800 ÷ 2 = 900

This means that 900 is split in the ratio 4:3:2. Add 4 to 3 and 2 and divide by 900.

4 + 3 + 2=9

900 ÷ 9 = 100

The ratio is food : bills : savings so just replace that to the ration and multiply.

food : bills : savings

   4  :   3  :   2

900 x 3 = 270
