Fraction of the salary spent on the speaker =
215 Fraction of the salary on the remainder
= 1 -
215 =
1315 Fraction of the remainder on savings
= 1 -
313 =
1013 Total salary = 15 u
Amount spent on the speaker = 2 u
Amount spent on the kettle = 3 u
Amount of savings = 10 u
10 u = 930
1 u = 930 ÷ 10 = 93
Annie's salary
= 15 u
= 15 x 93
= $1395
