Fraction of the salary spent on the kettle =
215 Fraction of the salary on the remainder
= 1 -
215 =
1315 Fraction of the remainder on savings
= 1 -
213 =
1113 Total salary = 15 u
Amount spent on the kettle = 2 u
Amount spent on the blender = 2 u
Amount of savings = 11 u
11 u = 902
1 u = 902 ÷ 11 = 82
Amy's salary
= 15 u
= 15 x 82
= $1230
Answer(s): $1230
