Fraction of the salary spent on the water heater =
114 Fraction of the salary on the remainder
= 1 -
114 =
1314 Fraction of the remainder on savings
= 1 -
213 =
1113 Total salary = 14 u
Amount spent on the water heater = 1 u
Amount spent on the speaker = 2 u
Amount of savings = 11 u
11 u = 1089
1 u = 1089 ÷ 11 = 99
Annie's salary
= 14 u
= 14 x 99
= $1386
Answer(s): $1386
