Caden spent ⁴₇ of his salary and gave $1116 to his wife. Of the remaining amount, he saved ¹₅ of it and gave ⁴₉ of it to his sisters. He then donated ²₃ of what he had left away and gave the remaining $40 to his son. What was Caden's salary?

Spent	Wife	Saved	Sisters	Donated	Son	Total
4 u	3 u					7 u
	$1116	1 p	4 p
			4x3	5x3
				2x5	1x5
			12 b	10 b	5 b $40

Amount that his son received = 5 b

5 b = 40
1 b = 40 ÷ 5 = 8

Amount of his salary given to his sisters, his donations and his son
= 12 b + 10 b + 5 b
= 27 b
= 27 x 8
= $216

4 p = 216 
1 p = 216 ÷ 4 = 54

Amount of his salary given to his savings, his sisters, his donations and his son
= 1 p + 4 p
= 5 p
= 5 x 54
= $270

Amount of his salary given to his wife, his savings, his sisters, his donations and his son
= 1116 + 270
= $1386 

3 u = 1386 
1 u = 1386 ÷ 3 = 462

Caden's salary
= 7 u
= 7 x 462
= $3234

Answer(s): $3234
