Fraction of the salary spent on the juicer =
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 juicer = 3 u
Amount spent on the slow cooker = 1 u
Amount of savings = 10 u
10 u = 800
1 u = 800 ÷ 10 = 80
Aris's salary
= 14 u
= 14 x 80
= $1120
