Question 942131: Mr Thomas received his salary and immediately spent 1/12 of it to buy himself a watch and 3/11 of the remaining to pay for a new television set for the family. He then gave his wife $550 for her expenses and deposited the rest of the money, which amounted to $1050 in the bank. How much was his salary? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):

(11/12)x * (8/11) - 550 = 1050
(11/12)x * (8/11) = 1600
(11/12)x = 1600*(11/8)
x = 1600*(11/8)*(12/11)
x = 2400
