Answer 1

$8,232.50

Explanation:

After saving 2/7 of his salary each month, Harun had $1335 left to spend. His brother, Jamal, saves 3/8 of his salary. If both of them save the same amount of money, how much is there salary altogether?

Harun : 1,335/(2/7) = $4,672.50 total salary

Jamal: 1,335/(3/8) = $3,560 total salary

Both salaries: $4,672.50 + $3,560 = $8,232.50
