anjali spent half of her weekly allowance at the movies. to earn more money her parents let her clean the windows in the house for $5. What is her weekly allowance if she ended with $8?

Verified Answer :

Let her entire weekly allowance be x
∴\(\frac{x}{2} + $5= $8\)
\(\frac{x+10}{2} =8\)
cross multiply
\(x+10=16\)
∴\(x=$6\)

8-5=3 is the remaining half
weekly allowance=2(1÷2) where (1÷2) is 3
2×3=6
weekly allowance is 6
