As it is said that she spent 2/9 of her savings on books,
Draw 9 units in her total savings, and take out 2 units for her spending on books.

That leaves us with 7 units.
The question tells us that she has $420 left hence we can make the link that
7units = $420.

Solve for 9 units (her total savings)

Hope this helps! :)
