Fraction of the remaining salary left
= 1 -
38 =
58 58 of the remaining salary =
25 of the total salary
5x28x2 of the remaining salary =
2x55x5 of the total salary
1016 of the remaining salary =
1025 of the total salary
Total salary = 25 u
Amount left = 10 u
Amount spent on the sandwich maker = 16 u - 10 u = 6 u
Amount spent on the computer = 25 u - 10 u - 6 u = 9 u
9 u = 405
1 u = 405 ÷ 9 = 45
Her salary
= 25 u
= 25 x 45
= $1125
Answer(s): $1125
