Fraction of the remaining salary left
= 1 -
16 =
56 56 of the remaining salary =
29 of the total salary
5x26x2 of the remaining salary =
2x59x5 of the total salary
1012 of the remaining salary =
1045 of the total salary
Total salary = 45 u
Amount left = 10 u
Amount spent on the toaster = 12 u - 10 u = 2 u
Amount spent on the portable air-conditioner = 45 u - 10 u - 2 u = 33 u
33 u = 1485
1 u = 1485 ÷ 33 = 45
Her salary
= 45 u
= 45 x 45
= $2025
Answer(s): $2025
