17 =
67 67 of the remaining salary =
25 of the total salary
6x17x1 of the remaining salary =
2x35x3 of the total salary
67 of the remaining salary =
615 of the total salary
Total salary = 15 u
Amount left = 6 u
Amount spent on the slow cooker = 7 u - 6 u = 1 u
Amount spent on the home theater system = 15 u - 6 u - 1 u = 8 u
8 u = 360
1 u = 360 ÷ 8 = 45
Her salary
= 15 u
= 15 x 45
= $675
Answer(s): $675
