Jean spent ¹₇ of her salary on a television set and ³₄ of the remainder on a juicer. If she saved the remaining $111, how much was her salary?
Fraction of the salary spent on the television set = ¹₇

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

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

Television Set	Remainder		Total
1x2	6x2		7x2
	Juicer	Savings
	3x3	1x3
2 u	9 u	3 u	14 u

The remainder and the total amount on the juicer and the savings are the same. Make the remainder and the total amount on the juicer and the savings the same.  LCM of 6 and 4 is 12.

Total salary = 14 u

Amount spent of the television set = 2 u
Amount spent on the juicer = 9 u
Amount of savings = 3 u

3 u = 111

1 u = 111 ÷ 3 = 37

Jean's salary
= 14 u
= 14 x 37
= $518

Answer(s): $518
