Fraction of the salary spent on the food processor =
314 Fraction of the salary on the remainder
= 1 -
314 =
1114 Fraction of the remainder on savings
= 1 -
111 =
1011 Total salary = 14 u
Amount spent on the food processor = 3 u
Amount spent on the hand blender = 1 u
Amount of savings = 10 u
10 u = 930
1 u = 930 ÷ 10 = 93
Amy's salary
= 14 u
= 14 x 93
= $1302
Answer(s): $1302
