Question

5. Adam spent half of his weekly allowance buying lunch. To earn

more money his parents let him shovel snow for $9.30.
What is his weekly allowance if he ended with $15.10?

Answer 1

Answer: $11.60

Explanation: First, you want to do 15.1 - 9.3 to find what half of his weekly allowance is, and that would be 5.8, AKA $5.80. Next, you want to multiply that number by 2, which would be 5.8(2) to get 11.6, or your final answer, $11.60.
