Answer:

Weekly allowance = $12.

Explanation:

Let x be the weakly allowance.

She spent half of it on mini-golf,

Half of weakly allowance =
(x)/(2)

and earned $9 from her parents,


(x)/(2) + 9

and ended the week with $15, so


(x)/(2) + 9 = 15

Solve above equation for x


(x)/(2) + 9 = 15


(x)/(2) = 15 - 9


(x)/(2) = 6


x=12

Therefore, Her weekly allowance is $12.
