#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#.
