Paul spent ⁴₇ of his salary and gave $555 to his wife. Of the remaining amount, he saved ¹₄ of it and gave ⁵₁₂ of it to his sisters. He then donated ²₃ of what he had left away and gave the remaining $28 to his son. What was Paul's salary?

Spent	Wife	Saved	Sisters	Donated	Son	Total
4 u	3 u					7 u
	$555	1 p	3 p
			5x3	7x3
				2x7	1x7
			15 b	14 b	7 b $28

Amount that his son received = 7 b

7 b = 28
1 b = 28 ÷ 7 = 4

Amount of his salary given to his sisters, his donations and his son
= 15 b + 14 b + 7 b
= 36 b
= 36 x 4
= $144

3 p = 144 
1 p = 144 ÷ 3 = 48

Amount of his salary given to his savings, his sisters, his donations and his son
= 1 p + 3 p
= 4 p
= 4 x 48
= $192

Amount of his salary given to his wife, his savings, his sisters, his donations and his son
= 555 + 192
= $747 

3 u = 747 
1 u = 747 ÷ 3 = 249

Paul's salary
= 7 u
= 7 x 249
= $1743

Answer(s): $1743
