Answer:

£2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Badly worded, as they oftena are! But to me it means

30% spent

60% saved (I.e also taken away and put somewhere else)

10% leftover equals 20p

So 20p equals 10% of what she originally had, so 100% must be £2.00, does that make sense?

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then divide.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{13}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{5}{8}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 8+5}{8}}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{13}{8}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{total salad}}{\cfrac{13}{2}}\div \stackrel{\stackrel{\textit{conainer's}}{\textit{capacity}}}{\cfrac{13}{8}}\implies \cfrac{\begin{matrix} 13 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}}{\underset{1}{\begin{matrix} 2 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}}}\cdot \cfrac{\stackrel{4}{\begin{matrix} 8 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}}}{\begin{matrix} 13 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}}\implies 4$
