Fraction of the salary spent on the food processor =
114 Fraction of the salary on the remainder
= 1 -
114 =
1314 Fraction of the remainder on savings
= 1 -
113 =
1213 Total salary = 14 u
Amount spent on the food processor = 1 u
Amount spent on the sandwich maker = 1 u
Amount of savings = 12 u
12 u = 1032
1 u = 1032 ÷ 12 = 86
Annie's salary
= 14 u
= 14 x 86
= $1204
Answer(s): $1204
