No ... you need to use the equivalent resistance for this branch, which is 10.8 k.
Go back through and draw each of the reduced circuits, labeling them 0 for the original, 1 for the first reduction, etc until you get to the final reduced circuit which has one resistor, and which provides the total current.
Record the equivalent resistances that have been found for each reduced circuit as you move from 0 to N, and then record the voltage drops and currents as you work your way back from N to 0.
When you do this yourself you should get consistent, correct answers.
