Answer: Pam's total salary is $41666.666

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume her total earning or salary per year = y

Personal expenses spent yearly = $7500

Personal expenses yearly ($7500) = 18% of y

100%y =

18% of y = 7500

(18/100)y = $7500

100% y = Total salary

0.18y = $7500 - - - - - - - (1)

1y = Total salary

(Total salary * 0.18y) = (7500 * y)

Total salary = 7500y / 0.18y

Total salary = 7500/0.18

Total salary = $41666.666
