Mario's salary increased by 40% to $4000 this year. Bob's salary from last year was equal to three times Mario's salary this year. If Bob's current salary is 20% more than his salary last year, what is his current salary? Give me reasons, before answering the question

Last year, Bob's salary was equal to three times Mario's salary this year, meaning Bob was earning 3 * $4000 = $12000. If Bob's salary increased by 20% this year, he is earning 20 / 100 * $12000 = $2400 more. Bob's total salary this year is $12000 + $2400 = $14400. So the final answer is 14400.
