Ethan spent ³₇ of his salary and gave $1608 to his wife. Of the remaining amount, he saved ¹₄ of it and gave ⁵₁₂ of it to his siblings. He then donated ²₃ of what he had left away and gave the remaining $49 to his son. What was Ethan's salary?

Spent	Wife	Saved	Siblings	Donated	Son	Total
3 u	4 u					7 u
	$1608	1 p	3 p
			5x3	7x3
				2x7	1x7
			15 b	14 b	7 b $49

Amount that his son received = 7 b

7 b = 49
1 b = 49 ÷ 7 = 7

Amount of his salary given to his siblings, his donations and his son
= 15 b + 14 b + 7 b
= 36 b
= 36 x 7
= $252

3 p = 252 
1 p = 252 ÷ 3 = 84

Amount of his salary given to his savings, his siblings, his donations and his son
= 1 p + 3 p
= 4 p
= 4 x 84
= $336

Amount of his salary given to his wife, his savings, his siblings, his donations and his son
= 1608 + 336
= $1944 

4 u = 1944 
1 u = 1944 ÷ 4 = 486

Ethan's salary
= 7 u
= 7 x 486
= $3402

Answer(s): $3402
