Tammy spent ³₅ of her salary on a blender and ²₅ of the remainder on a television set. If she saved the remaining $210, how much was her salary?
Fraction of the salary spent on the blender = ³₅

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

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

Blender	Remainder		Total
3x5	2x5		5x5
	Television Set	Savings
	2x2	3x2
15 u	4 u	6 u	25 u

The remainder and the total amount on the television set and the savings are the same. Make the remainder and the total amount on the television set and the savings the same.  LCM of 2 and 5 is 10.

Total salary = 25 u

Amount spent of the blender = 15 u
Amount spent on the television set = 4 u
Amount of savings = 6 u

6 u = 210

1 u = 210 ÷ 6 = 35

Tammy's salary
= 25 u
= 25 x 35
= $875

Answer(s): $875
