let the monthly earnings = x
40% on food = 40x/100
remaining salary = x - 40x/100 = 60x/100
one third of the remaining = (60x/100) * 1/3 = 20x/100
left salary = x - 40x/100 - 20x/100 = 40x/100
half of the left salary = (40x/100) * 1/2 = 20x/100
now the equation becomes
20x/100 = 4500
x = 22500
40% on food = 40x/100
remaining salary = x - 40x/100 = 60x/100
one third of the remaining = (60x/100) * 1/3 = 20x/100
left salary = x - 40x/100 - 20x/100 = 40x/100
half of the left salary = (40x/100) * 1/2 = 20x/100
now the equation becomes
20x/100 = 4500
x = 22500

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:let the monthly earnings = x
40% on food = 40x/100
remaining salary = x - 40x/100 = 60x/100
one third of the remaining = (60x/100) * 1/3 = 20x/100
left salary = x - 40x/100 - 20x/100 = 40x/100
half of the left salary = (40x/100) * 1/2 = 20x/100
now the equation becomes
20x/100 = 4500
x = 22500
