Answer 1

Answer:

here's your answer, grab it

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

salary spent on savings = 1/2 of total

salary spent on food = 1/3 of 1/2 = 36000

let the total salary be x.

so the salary in the savings will be - x/2

the rest salary will be - x/2

she is spending one third of the rest salary on food, means - x/2 * 1/3 = x/6

and according to the question X / 6 is equal to 36000 shilings

equation formed -

x/6 = 36000

x = 216000

so now you got the the total salary that is equal to 216000 shillings.
