27 =
57 57 of the remaining salary =
16 of the total salary
5x17x1 of the remaining salary =
1x56x5 of the total salary
57 of the remaining salary =
530 of the total salary
Total salary = 30 u
Amount left = 5 u
Amount spent on the slow cooker = 7 u - 5 u = 2 u
Amount spent on the refrigerator = 30 u - 5 u - 2 u = 23 u
23 u = 460
1 u = 460 ÷ 23 = 20
Her salary
= 30 u
= 30 x 20
= $600
Answer(s): $600
