Answer:

$40

Explanation:

1. Miguel received $20 to start and $4 per week for allowance. The $20 is not a repeated thing, unlike the allowance. So, multiply the dollars per week by the number of weeks that he is saving for.

$4 per week x 5 weeks = $20.

2. Add in the $20 that he was initially given to start with.

$20+$20 = $40

Answer:

40$

Explanation:

because if he gets 4$ a week and he saves for 5 weeks you would do 4 times 5 which is 20

but also keep in mind that he has 20$ as a gift to start

so u will add the gift money with his savings so 20+20 which is 40

hope this helps! :)
