Fraction of the salary spent on the speaker =
115 Fraction of the salary on the remainder
= 1 -
115 =
1415 Fraction of the remainder on savings
= 1 -
314 =
1114 Total salary = 15 u
Amount spent on the speaker = 1 u
Amount spent on the slow cooker = 3 u
Amount of savings = 11 u
11 u = 605
1 u = 605 ÷ 11 = 55
Amy's salary
= 15 u
= 15 x 55
= $825
