Perry spent ³₇ of his salary and gave $1172 to his wife. Of the remaining amount, he saved ¹₄ of it and gave ⁴₉ of it to his parents. He then donated ²₃ of what he had left away and gave the remaining $35 to his son. What was Perry's salary?

Spent	Wife	Saved	Parents	Donated	Son	Total
3 u	4 u					7 u
	$1172	1 p	3 p
			4x3	5x3
				2x5	1x5
			12 b	10 b	5 b $35

Amount that his son received = 5 b

5 b = 35
1 b = 35 ÷ 5 = 7

Amount of his salary given to his parents, his donations and his son
= 12 b + 10 b + 5 b
= 27 b
= 27 x 7
= $189

3 p = 189 
1 p = 189 ÷ 3 = 63

Amount of his salary given to his savings, his parents, his donations and his son
= 1 p + 3 p
= 4 p
= 4 x 63
= $252

Amount of his salary given to his wife, his savings, his parents, his donations and his son
= 1172 + 252
= $1424 

4 u = 1424 
1 u = 1424 ÷ 4 = 356

Perry's salary
= 7 u
= 7 x 356
= $2492

Answer(s): $2492
