Amount that his son received = 7 b
7 b = 49
1 b = 49 ÷ 7 = 7
Amount of his salary given to his grandparents, his donations and his son
= 9 b + 14 b + 7 b
= 30 b
= 30 x 7
= $210
2 p = 210
1 p = 210 ÷ 2 = 105
Amount of his salary given to his savings, his grandparents, his donations and his son
= 1 p + 2 p
= 3 p
= 3 x 105
= $315
Amount of his salary given to his wife, his savings, his grandparents, his donations and his son
= 1152 + 315
= $1467
3 u = 1467
1 u = 1467 ÷ 3 = 489
Daniel's salary
= 7 u
= 7 x 489
= $3423
Answer(s): $3423
