$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!
