Fraction of the salary spent on the blender =
115 Fraction of the salary on the remainder
= 1 -
115 =
1415 Fraction of the remainder on savings
= 1 -
114 =
1314 Total salary = 15 u
Amount spent on the blender = 1 u
Amount spent on the juicer = 1 u
Amount of savings = 13 u
13 u = 1183
1 u = 1183 ÷ 13 = 91
Angeline's salary
