Lee spent ³₇ of his salary and gave $893 to his wife. Of the remaining amount, he saved ¹₃ of it and gave ³₇ of it to his parents. He then donated ²₃ of what he had left away and gave the remaining $8 to his son. What was Lee's salary?

Spent	Wife	Saved	Parents	Donated	Son	Total
3 u	4 u					7 u
	$893	1 p	2 p
			3x3	4x3
				2x4	1x4
			9 b	8 b	4 b $8

Amount that his son received = 4 b

4 b = 8
1 b = 8 ÷ 4 = 2

Amount of his salary given to his parents, his donations and his son
= 9 b + 8 b + 4 b
= 21 b
= 21 x 2
= $42

2 p = 42 
1 p = 42 ÷ 2 = 21

Amount of his salary given to his savings, his parents, his donations and his son
= 1 p + 2 p
= 3 p
= 3 x 21
= $63

Amount of his salary given to his wife, his savings, his parents, his donations and his son
= 893 + 63
= $956 

4 u = 956 
1 u = 956 ÷ 4 = 239

Lee's salary
= 7 u
= 7 x 239
= $1673

Answer(s): $1673
