2640.

Explanation:

He spent 15% on the remainder. The left over of the remainder would be 100%-15%=85%.

85%Total=$1870
Therefore,
1%Total=$1870/85
which is equal to $22.
100% would be $22*100=2200
Since he spent 1/6 on the salary,
The $2200 would be the remainder (6/6-1/6=5/6)

5x=$2200

x=$2200/5 which is equal to $440.

The total would be 6x.

Total: $440*6=$2640
The answer is $2640.
