Fraction of the remaining salary left

14 =
34 34 of the remaining salary =
29 of the total salary
3x24x2 of the remaining salary =
2x39x3 of the total salary
68 of the remaining salary =
627 of the total salary
Total salary = 27 u
Amount left = 6 u
Amount spent on the food processor = 8 u - 6 u = 2 u
Amount spent on the notebook = 27 u - 6 u - 2 u = 19 u
19 u = 760
1 u = 760 ÷ 19 = 40
Her salary
= 27 u
= 27 x 40
= $1080
Answer(s): $1080
