Fraction of the salary spent on the deep fryer =
114 Fraction of the salary on the remainder
= 1 -
114 =
1314 Fraction of the remainder on savings
= 1 -
113 =
1213 Total salary = 14 u
Amount spent on the deep fryer = 1 u
Amount spent on the blender = 1 u
Amount of savings = 12 u
12 u = 852
1 u = 852 ÷ 12 = 71
Alina's salary
= 14 u
= 14 x 71
= $994
