Fanny spent ¹₇ of her salary on a food processor and ²₃ of the remainder on a toaster oven. If she saved the remaining $62, how much was her salary?
Fraction of the salary spent on the food processor = ¹₇

Fraction of the salary on the remainder
= 1 - ¹₇
= ⁶₇

Fraction of the remainder on savings
= 1 - ²₃
= ¹₃

Food Processor	Remainder		Total
1x1	6x1		7x1
	Toaster Oven	Savings
	2x2	1x2
1 u	4 u	2 u	7 u

The remainder and the total amount on the toaster oven and the savings are the same. Make the remainder and the total amount on the toaster oven and the savings the same.  LCM of 6 and 3 is 6.

Total salary = 7 u

Amount spent of the food processor = 1 u
Amount spent on the toaster oven = 4 u
Amount of savings = 2 u

2 u = 62

1 u = 62 ÷ 2 = 31

Fanny's salary
= 7 u
= 7 x 31
= $217

Answer(s): $217
