Fraction of the salary spent on the kettle =
110 Fraction of the salary on the remainder

110 =
910 Fraction of the remainder on savings
= 1 -
19 =
89 Total salary = 10 u
Amount spent on the kettle = 1 u
Amount spent on the blender = 1 u
Amount of savings = 8 u
8 u = 624
1 u = 624 ÷ 8 = 78
Amy's salary
