Answer 1

Answer:
`\displyastyle \boxed{(7)/(18)\;\; \text{of his salary}}`

Explanation:

We will set 1 as his salary since 1 is the whole. Next, we will find what fraction of this was used, then subtract it from the whole salary to see what went into his savings.

`\displaystyle 1 - (1/3 + 1/6 + 1/9) = 1 - (11)/(18) =(7)/(18)`
