$1500

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!
