Tina spent ¹₅ of her salary on a refrigerator and ²₅ of the remainder on a gas stove. If she saved the remaining $384, how much was her salary?
Fraction of the salary spent on the refrigerator = ¹₅

Fraction of the salary on the remainder
= 1 - ¹₅
= ⁴₅

Fraction of the remainder on savings
= 1 - ²₅
= ³₅

Refrigerator	Remainder		Total
1x5	4x5		5x5
	Gas Stove	Savings
	2x4	3x4
5 u	8 u	12 u	25 u

The remainder and the total amount on the gas stove and the savings are the same. Make the remainder and the total amount on the gas stove and the savings the same.  LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.

Total salary = 25 u

Amount spent of the refrigerator = 5 u
Amount spent on the gas stove = 8 u
Amount of savings = 12 u

12 u = 384

1 u = 384 ÷ 12 = 32

Tina's salary
= 25 u
= 25 x 32
= $800

Answer(s): $800
