Question #2c654

Answer 1

$1500

Explanation:

Mr. Nelson gives `1/5` of his monthly salary (2500) to his wife.

`2500(1/5) = 500`

`1/5` of `2500` is `500`, so he gives his wife 500 dollars.

He then spends `3/4` of the remainder. If he gave away $500, then he would have $2000 remaining, since `2500 - 500 = 2000`.

`2000(3/4) = 1500`

`3/4` of `2000` is `1500`, so Mr. Nelson spends $1500 each month.

Hope this helps!
