Answer:

I spent $800 on my mortgage

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

Let's call x=montly salary.

I spent [tex]\frac{2}{5}x[/tex] on my mortgage. This leaves

[tex]x-\frac{2}{5}X=\frac{3}{5}x[/tex]

left over for other expenses. That amount of money is given:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{3}{5}x=1200[/tex]

Multiplying by 5/3:

[tex]\displaystyle x=1200*\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

x = $2000

My monthly salary is $2000. I spent 2/5 *$2000 = $800 on my mortgage
