38 =
58 58 of the remaining salary =
19 of the total salary
5x18x1 of the remaining salary =
1x59x5 of the total salary
58 of the remaining salary =
545 of the total salary
Total salary = 45 u
Amount left = 5 u
Amount spent on the slow cooker = 8 u - 5 u = 3 u
Amount spent on the portable air-conditioner = 45 u - 5 u - 3 u = 37 u
37 u = 925
1 u = 925 ÷ 37 = 25
Her salary
= 45 u
= 45 x 25
= $1125
Answer(s): $1125
