Gabby spent ¹₄ of her salary on a juicer and ³₄ of the remainder on a washing machine. If she saved the remaining $114, how much was her salary?
Fraction of the salary spent on the juicer = ¹₄

Fraction of the salary on the remainder
= 1 - ¹₄
= ³₄

Fraction of the remainder on savings
= 1 - ³₄
= ¹₄

Juicer	Remainder		Total
1x4	3x4		4x4
	Washing Machine	Savings
	3x3	1x3
4 u	9 u	3 u	16 u

The remainder and the total amount on the washing machine and the savings are the same. Make the remainder and the total amount on the washing machine and the savings the same.  LCM of 3 and 4 is 12.

Total salary = 16 u

Amount spent of the juicer = 4 u
Amount spent on the washing machine = 9 u
Amount of savings = 3 u

3 u = 114

1 u = 114 ÷ 3 = 38

Gabby's salary
= 16 u
= 16 x 38
= $608

Answer(s): $608
