Amount withdrawn and spent: 720 + 163 + 37 = $920
With $920 being 25% of his savings, and R being the REMAINDER (75% or .75) in the bank after the 
withdrawal, we get the following PROPORTION: 
                                             .01R = .03(920) ------ Cross-multiplying
REMAINDER in the bank after the withdrawal, or 

Now, since after  of his salary was deposited, he had $4,680, then  of his salary is: $4,680 - 2,760 = $1,920
With $1,920 being  of his salary, and S being his salary, we get the following
PROPORTION: 
            .4S = 1,920 ------ Cross-multiplying
  Salary, or 

FYI: That dude's answer is WRONG, as usual!!
