We can also plug in some nice values that satisfy the given information.
Her tips were 5/4 of her salary.
Let's say her salary = $4
This mean her tips = (5/4)($4) = $5
So, her TOTAL INCOME = $4 + $5 = $9
What fraction of her income for the week came from tips
$5/$9 = 5/9
= E

We can let the salary = x and the tips = 5x/4.
Thus, tips are (5x/4)/(x + 5x/4) = (5x/4)/(4x/4 + 5x/4) = (5x/4)/(9x/4) = 5/9 of her income.
Answer: E
