Howard spent ³₇ of his salary and gave $1472 to his wife. Of the remaining amount, he saved ¹₃ of it and gave ⁵₁₂ of it to his sisters. He then donated ²₃ of what he had left away and gave the remaining $14 to his son. What was Howard's salary?

Spent	Wife	Saved	Sisters	Donated	Son	Total
3 u	4 u					7 u
	$1472	1 p	2 p
			5x3	7x3
				2x7	1x7
			15 b	14 b	7 b $14

Amount that his son received = 7 b

7 b = 14
1 b = 14 ÷ 7 = 2

Amount of his salary given to his sisters, his donations and his son
= 15 b + 14 b + 7 b
= 36 b
= 36 x 2
= $72

2 p = 72 
1 p = 72 ÷ 2 = 36

Amount of his salary given to his savings, his sisters, his donations and his son
= 1 p + 2 p
= 3 p
= 3 x 36
= $108

Amount of his salary given to his wife, his savings, his sisters, his donations and his son
= 1472 + 108
= $1580 

4 u = 1580 
1 u = 1580 ÷ 4 = 395

Howard's salary
= 7 u
= 7 x 395
= $2765

Answer(s): $2765
