Answer:
Let the salary of a person be x.
Investment on clothes- (2/5)x
Investment on food and milk- (3/4)x
Leftover money- 450
Then according to question,
(2/5)x + (3/4)x +450 = x
8x+15x/20 +450 = x
23x/20 +450 = x
23x/20 - x = 450
23x-20x/20 = 450
3x/20 = 450
3x = 450 *20
3x = 9000
x = 3000
The salary of a person is Rs 3000.
