Fraction of the salary spent on the slow cooker =
110 Fraction of the salary on the remainder
= 1 -
110 =
910 Fraction of the remainder on savings
= 1 -
49 =
59 Total salary = 10 u
Amount spent on the slow cooker = 1 u
Amount spent on the hand blender = 4 u
Amount of savings = 5 u
5 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 5 = 40
Aisha's salary
= 10 u
= 10 x 40
= $400
