Amount that his daughter received = 7 b
7 b = 56
1 b = 56 ÷ 7 = 8
Amount of his salary given to his siblings, his donations and his daughter
= 9 b + 14 b + 7 b
= 30 b
= 30 x 8
= $240
2 p = 240
1 p = 240 ÷ 2 = 120
Amount of his salary given to his savings, his siblings, his donations and his daughter
= 1 p + 2 p
= 3 p
= 3 x 120
= $360
Amount of his salary given to his wife, his savings, his siblings, his donations and his daughter
= 432 + 360
= $792
3 u = 792
1 u = 792 ÷ 3 = 264
Daniel's salary
= 5 u
= 5 x 264
= $1320
Answer(s): $1320
